I cant imagine how sad you may feel at times.. I know loneliness doesn't feel good, but I ask you to hold tight just a little while longer. Speak to God today, get on your knees today and pray to God what you are feeling, God Cares,,.. he does,, Sometimes. we just dont know what is the delay.. but just know its not in vain that their is goodness that comes out of this for you

Read your Bible for 2 - 3 hours a day and listen to upbeat Christian music for most of the day (I enjoy Riley Clemmons myself). Music has a way of filling your heart with joy - and when you come across a song which gives you joy and strength, put it on repeat until you can move on gracefully to the next song. I have listened to songs thousands of times on repeat and it fills me with joy, then you share your smile with the world Reading fills your spirit and soul, and if you are feeling adventurous go into some debates to test your knowledge of Jesus.

Maybe you can find a way to do some volunteer work (I don't know your age or circumstance), even if it is just for a day or two a week--perhaps get involved in a church or and help with activities, this might be a way to meet people. Maybe a free group in your community or online would be good as well. I can relate to the being alone though, I have spent more time alone over the past 3 years than I've ever spent in my life. For me, it has also been financially tough, so I have spent a lot of time with God. 🙏🏾✝️😇

All my friends around me are already happily married and with kids. I am always the solo person in a midst of married couples, I am always alone while everyone else seems to be having fun with their partners. And I kept asking myself what was so wrong with me. It put me into mild depression for a good period of time last year. And today again I felt a spirit of deep loneliness overcome me and drag my spirits down again, pulling me away from the present. But seeing your video felt like God made me come across it to tell me He is still with me and for me to be reminded to put Him first. Pls pray for me.

People I didn't know from that session came to me and asked to pray with me, and spoke words that they could not have known on what I was going through. I can't imagine the love I felt from God's personal reminder. He is a good good Father indeed.

I left my ex-boyfriend going on 8 months now. I don't feel alone because I pray and read scripture and I know I need time for recovery from a very brutal mentally abusive relationship I was in. I see this time alone as spiritual awareness and healing. My ex didn't want anything to do with God and I knew I couldn't stay with him. I had to move in with my mother, which I'm not proud of but he had me move to another state and changed his mind after I had packed up everything I owned, twice he did this to me. So, now I'm at my mom's and he ended up hiring a moving company to deliver my things, but I'm still missing 4 boxes and it's been very stressful for me because I don't want to communicate with him, I had to tell him but all he said was, I'll send it all when I get a chance. This was a month ago. I'm stuck in this room because I don't have a car and It's hard to find a job online without 3 yrs of recent experience. For the 6 yrs we were together he didn't want me to work. I've been isolated for so long, I know I need to find a Church and a Bible study so I can meet other Christians. I know this would help me. Just 5 months ago I changed my life and became a born-again Christian, I pray that one day I will meet a God-fearing man. I've made so many bad decisions in my life, but now I'm letting the Holy Spirit guide me. 🙏 💜

22 years old and I’ve never experienced a girlfriend or even an intimate hug or holding of the hand. I have always felt lonely and afraid of the girls that I was attracted too. There are a lot of key moments in growing up and becoming a confident individual that I never experienced in my childhood. One of them being having a girlfriend, another being never getting into a typical schoolyard fight at school. Everything has just been empty words, until I recently started to grow in the faith. I have spiritually matured tremendously in my years after high school. Please pray for me that I will find a pretty wife someday who loves the lord. Just a side note. Please know that I am no longer a loud mouth prideful idiot who goes around looking for a fight all the time with his chest puffed out. I have been humbled by the lord and I no longer behave that way. All I’m trying to say up above is there are certain milestones that I feel every boy must go through in order to become a man. I feel like the experience of a fight and knowing how to defend yourself in a little hand to hand combat is one, while a kiss from a beautiful girl is another. Aside from that the most important part of growing up is when you realize it’s not getting drunk or being the tough bad to the bone guy that makes you cool. What’s important is having a solid relationship with God and knowing your place. I love and fear God and respect his authority over the Earth and the way I live my life. Please pray for other young adult or teenage boys out there who like me feel pressured by society like they have to be “cool” by getting drunk, smoking and chewing tobacco and all the other dumb things people today tell us is cool. The most important part of my message is I LOVE JESUS and JESUS LOVES ME. I no longer need all the other foolish junk in my life to be happy. God has taught me all of those foul things I talked about being “cool” only cause you pain. I am grateful for Gods mercy on me. I definitely do not deserve it. I have sinned beyond measure. But I seek to do better every day. I know deep down my pain of never having a relationship with a girl 22 going on 23 years of my life just might make marriage all that much sweeter in the end. Or perhaps I have been called to singleness. I do not know. But I trust God and I have confidence in him. Which ever way my path leads I will love God nonetheless. I just don’t trust myself or have any confidence in my own abilities. If you have read this message this far down and understand my thoughts and feelings please share your experience too.

If I was feeling down or anxious I would surround surround myself with people so I didn't actually have to learn to deal with my problems, I could instead distract myself. Isolation is causing me to rely in God more so that I can actually grow in love towards Him, and grow in my weaknesses. But man, as an extreme extrovert...it is a painful experience.

Just left nursing school and I just did not feel the joy that I had originally thought would be there. I've been relearning the importance of trusting in God and being patient because I am well aware that He is faithful. It was just yesterday that I said that Obviously I'm being prepared for something greater but I need to build in faith. Once again God is using you to talk to me, thank you.

Im fairly content being alone at 38. I am a free spirit, I do what I want and I go where I like. I have no responsibilities of children or marriage, just some bills to pay like everyone. It was hard at first losing old friends/flames from teenage years/20s and going to new places not knowing many people. I have a few music friends and my guitar to keep me focused on writing songs and just free flowing solos when I feel sad or lonely - what comes out is truly beautiful when its from the heart and soul. It is very liberating sometimes not having the pressure of constantly making another person happy, or having to trust them, but on the flip side as humans we all desire a partner to wake up to and be intimate with, thats natural and wonderful if its mutual and centred solely around love. I was rejected by someone I have feelings for a while ago. Maybe that was supposed to happen, who knows. You can't force someone to have feelings for you in return.

He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and is moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all affairs are referred back to God.

2006 divorced. A tumultuous marriage and divorced. My ex had bi-polar, ADD, and dyslexia. He drank. I was with a wonderful Christian therapist. I respect him so much. Sent from God above. I was with a Christian counselor. $40,000…5 years with my family. Back to college. By Gods grace I graduated with the highest honors. All praise to God!! God has been faithful! Hard…unbelievable hard and painful. My ex divided my daughter and I and all my family. It’s taken me years recover and heal. I pray for complete restoration with my only daughter. She is 35 now. He divided us and she made poor choices. She is in therapy now. His help her! I pray for a real, honest, and loving relationship with a Godly man. I do not want to be alone anymore. 65 now. Healthy. I welcome a loving relationship, if and when Gods will!! A HEALTHY relationship…valued, appreciated, and loved…beyond anything I have ever dreamed. Help me to know Lord…he is the right man for me. I have been faithful…WAITING for the right man to share this life with. In Jesus name!! Amen 🙏❤️🙏❤️😇💕💕🎉

I find loneliness to be a curse because of my sin. Sin, shame, loneliness, guilt. I don’t see any of these points for what I’m going through personally. I feel rejected by God. And I feel as though if there is a window to come out of this that it’s going to be a very tough window to go through, like a ring of fire. Whenever I have confidence in the Lord and Joy and Peace, it’s shot down to the ground. I don’t even have courage to make the first move. I have dishonored my family by bringing in falsehood but it wasn’t my intention, what happened was I saw the times were drawing near and I was grasping any teaching I could in order to understand the symbolism in the Bible, yet I didn’t realize I held on to the teaching of Jewish law, now I have dishonored my family and the shame is so deep that I continue to dishonor by driving my own parents away as I sit in my own destruction. All I ever wanted is to profusely learn about God, I was running to him, then I got caught in a thornbush and now my brother and sister and family all have shown their hate for me. And then after this I caught my husband lusting after someone else. I’m completely shattered. I’m at the point where I’m a people hater and even though I still read and pray and ask for forgiveness and I confess my sins for being a people hater I still haven’t really had peace. So then I turned to drugs. And my sister in law died, and I don’t even have the energy to get out of bed or go to the store or to gather all the idols in my house to get rid off. I’m swimming in iniquity right now. I hate my life. Marriage is a curse for me. And I believe we have less than 10 years before his second coming and although I tried to run the race, I failed. I am getting back up again tho and I’ve quit drugs and I’m fasting and praying….but still my hope is like a dying heartbeat.

Honestly this is some pretty impeccable timing. I’ve been struggling a lot lately on this, I felt (and still feel a little) desperate to be in a relationship, but also had my heart broken a few times and even had to end a relationship that was displeasing to the Lord Almighty. It always hurts to be lonely, but we’re never alone when we have God the King in our lives everyday and He watches over all of us. Praise be to the Lord Almighty in Christ Jesus’ name, and thank you for sharing brother. God bless you.

I raised my children alone. Throughout my life (52years) I've only been in 3 real relationships. In this time I guess I didn't work on these issues. After about 16 years I met a very sweet lady. She was coming out of a bad relationship and I thought we could help each other and be happy. I was wrong, I carried all the fears of past failure into that relationship. After 3 1/2 years we broke up. That was March of last year. We were still friends but I can't seem to let go of her. I really do love her. Yesterday (1/1/23) I told her I could not contact her anymore. My heart is shredded, and the prospect of being alone again is not something I look forward to.
