The second truth takes us a little deeper because we know it can be "easy" (Ha!) to tell of His excellent greatness, but sometimes still be mentally checked out. I find this truth more challenging as I internalize comments that I should be letting roll right off my back. If it's not analyzing a comment, I. JUST. CHECK. OUT. I become some trippy auto-pilot version of myself who apparently separates herself from her Lord in her mind, choosing rather to appease herself or others, forgetting something exceptionally significant. That woman FORGETS, NEGLECTS, and sometimes outright REJECTS what could actually allow her to remain present in conversation with relatives and friends. It's a gem of a truth. I hope you find it as valuable as I do.
REMEMBER HIS OMNISCIENCE. Let's break it down. God knows your past history far better than you or anyone else could ever even attempt to remember it because He knows every single thought you have EVER HAD. God knows exactly what He is doing all the time in your present circumstances that make no sense to you. God knows you more intimately than you (or anyone else) will EVER know yourself because the idea of you originated in His perfect, creative mind. Seriously, every-hair-on-your-head kind of knowledge, folks. God knows EXACTLY who He is making you into through the sanctification process so whatever He has allowed into your life at present WILL shape you into the person He wants you to be as you are surrendered over to Him. God knows all the other people in the room you are sharing at the party BETTER than they know themselves and better than you do too. God knows each and every conversation before you have it. That All-Knowing God is FOR you! That one aspect of His nature should boost your confidence in Who He is so that when the arrows of the enemy in the form of "well-meaning" questions about singleness come your way, you can cling to Him. You can cling to the fact that your Omniscient God also NEVER makes mistakes, falls short, messes up, forgets about, misses anything, or withholds good! I would hate for you to show up to a party without this truth, so don't forget to bring such lofty knowledge of His awesomeness.
