I'm praying for you, which should make your situation better. :D I feel strong compassion for you. I pray for my sister that she finds love and strong connectedness through friendships with people, but more importantly with You. For there is no better feeling than being intimately near to You, Lord of Love and Truth on High!!! Give GLORY to Him!!! I pray that you use your feelings of hurt and abandonment of human relationships to go deeper into the heart of God. For the word says that ALL things work together for those that love God. Loving love is the greatest privilege now, forever anywhere, among all beings and all of creation!!!
Let me say that I'm well acquainted with suicidal thoughts because I have bipolar disorder and I have learned through experience and wisdom through God's word that there is no excuse to cultivate a self-destructive thought. We are not made for ourselves, we are made for God. Although the choice is open, the choice is pure evil if turned in that direction. As Christ's armory we have no place in a frame of mind of self-destruction. Listen to me when I say this. When there seems to be a vacuum of love, kindness, gentleness, pleasantries or goodness in your life.. God is there. Waiting for you to reach to Him. To cling to Him for comfort. 2 Corinthians 1 declares this: "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. 6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer."
I don't have that many friends either, but that's why we have each other right?

Hi Brandon,
It's amazing how wise you are at your age. I'm very touched by your prayer, words and kindness. Thank you very much for your post. You're right, we've been made for HIM!. God bless you!

Hi- I am praying for you!! It's very ironic that you are the first post I looked at today ( I'm a new member) and we are both 37, female, and unemployed- we are just MEANT to be friends :D I get depressed too but try to be thankful to God for the little things. Remember also, as far as your relationship goes- God sees the bigger picture- such as it didn't work out so you would be available for the person you are meant to marry. God bless- I look forward to talking to you more- AngelMom777
Thank you very much! I hope to be a good friend to you. God bless you!

Hi there,
I also have been very isolated and lonely and hated (for no justifiable reason) and actually also had a best friend I chatted with on the internet I "lost" soon 2 yrs ago.He was all I had and as he left my heart broke as life sucked out of me and my body twisted.Have also had a past of really bad treatment that caused agony and am in process of taking it to court.Truth be known.
and am also hoping to make some new friends here.
Positive, supportive, encouraging, understanding, loving, caring etc can bring you to smile, laugh and just "be there".
Got a cuddle lastnight and it was the best medicine ever.and all free.....
Got a massage for my birthday where the girls were not very nice or good and hurt me and made me feel bad.I would rather have payed this guy for this heartfelt beautiful cuddle.Priceless.Wishing you one of these also.
Just had cancer and cant make children.Like to think of spiritual motherhood and through all species, soul mother.Can always be a stepmother, Godmother,soulmother...

Have you got any animals?
My dog helped break a lot of isolation and got me out of the home.
Have a horse now.

Sorry if my writing is wierd

Hope you make some really nice genuine friends online but also close to you that you can meet with.

Maybe you can write a careplan for yourself with a list of things to motivate you and make you feel good.
Its important even when one doesnt work to get up in morning and have some good routines.
I wrote a "todo list" when I was a mess and it helped me immensely.
Simple things like "do the washing" and then tick it off.
Took up knitting.
Exercise is good and maybe meet some people.
perhaps danceclass with partner.

Best wishes and love to you anyway.

Love
Victoria

Hi Flower fragrance, that is a sweet name : ) I am in the same boat as you, lonely and isolated yet surrounded by people. Even my facebook friends dont talk to me : / and I have hundreds of them. I am not single but married but still just as lonely because we do not communicate. So I'd love to be your friend. I am a mature age student at the moment so i dont really fit with the young people and dont have time to socialise with others much. I am also in a new church. Everyone seems to have it all together and have their groups of friends I am still finding my way there. Well hope to chat again sometime. Have a happy day. :D

It's actually kind of funny that I just got through posting something about being isolated and a little ribbon popped up at the bottom saying "I feel lonely and isolated" and at first I thought it was trying to quote me.

I know how you feel being isolated, I am almost entirely cut off because of a disability that doesn't much allow me to leave the house. I go to a big church (when I can) and I've definately been one of those people sitting alone. I've had depression, self harming tendencies and (at the moment) a large amount of hopelessness, so I think I understand, at least in some small way.

I may be a little young to have as a friend (I'm 19) but if you're willing I'd love a friend. You can e-mail me if you like,
[email protected]

Thank you for sharing, by the way.

I feel your pain. I am a survivor of serious long term abuse and rejection and have been dumped recently by two good frieds because of the struggles I've been going through. I came to this place feeling the same way you do. Bless you. I hope we both can overcome this and feel loved

Guys, this post was made in 2011. 2 years old. The OP hasn't logged in in over a year. When you see those threads come up at the bottom, they are designed to look for words in your title and find similar words in other post titles. The problem is, it has no restriction on how old a post is. When these come up, look to the far right of the post name to see how old the post is before responding.
In the top left corner of each post shows a date, this is the date the post was made. This can prevent you from getting into old posts.

Also, Hammie, posting of emails, phone number and other person information on the forums is discouraged. Though this is a Christian site, not everyone on it is Christian. Also, people not logged in can read the forums, so any nutjob can see the information you post. Just some useful tips for our noobies. :cool:

Re: I need some help here please

I live in Austin Tx. I have listened to the same radio show for many years since I was young. What drew me to the show in the first place was that the host of the show; Dale; was a Christian. Over the years I have listened I have heard him draw further and further away from Christ.

It has gotten to the point that his partner; Bob, who is a Christian also; is apparently also starting to follow in the same direction. Last week I heard him issue a challenge to God. He said if he did not recieve 1000 calls on the show from christians supporting him and his call to Christ by this Friday; that he would take that as a sign that God Did Not Exist!!

Today he was saying that as of his challenge to God last week he still has not recieved ONE phone call in support of him following christ. He said that by Friday he would Know that there was NO GOD. Please do not let this happen. Please call him tomorrow and up till Friday as much as you can. It is a morning show for KLBJ from 6 am - 10 am. Their number is 512 973 8300 and 512 390 5525. They are both numbers to the show. Please call and pledge your support to him in his cause for Jesus. I will be calling everyday until Friday and maybe even past if the Lord needs. Please let us pull together as Christians for Christ!
This should maybe have been popped into another forum, maybe 'miscellaneous' it may get missed in here...I can tell you are distressed by this radio show, but I would not be calling. We are told clearly 'Do not test the Lord your God' and that is exactly what this man is doing. Sounds as if he is also not living in obedience to God...and its a slippery slope of compramise & confusion when one falls away from obedience. If we love God, we will obey Him, because He tells us we must, not coz we like it or feel like it. This sounds like a drama and a silly gimmick don't you think? We need not fear such silliness :) I think prayers are what is needed and maybe, just maybe, local Christians could have been taking some loving action way before it got this sad. God Bless you for your concern but there is an awful lot of silliness out there in 'Gods name' if its causing upset division & confusion, its most probably not of God :) <><

Hello Friend Flower Fragrance!!

I would like to encourage you .Your life is based on what you think and what you feel.. Since you have faith in Lord Jesus Christ ...no doubt you are a Child of God (According to Jn 1:12). All you need is '' Fear not- only Believe ''. You would have known many God's promise..Even then I would like to remind you some more;

Jesus says this in John 14:18 ''I will not leave you as orphans:i will come to you.''..SO you believe you belong to Him.. and wait for His time..
The Lord Says in Isaiah 58:9 '' Then you will call, and the Lord will answer: you will cry for help, and He will say: here am I.'..therefor you have answer for all your prayers...'' Since you are precious and honored in my sight, ans because I love you.'' ( Isa 43:4)..you are so valuable for Him.. You may be treated as badly as much by people but not By HIM..Therefore you kindly pray as king David prayed '' You are my help and my deliverer: O my God do not delay ..( Psalm 40:17)

Ok ...take care.. You have all goodness in our Lord Jesus.. So FEAR NOT..ONLY BELIEVE.

With Christian love

Raj

You might b a little hipocritical about the nutjobs out there" (?) Many seem to ignore what u say. Lest we forget how many, "Christians"/Churches subtly dis one another as not really saved as well. The post addresses how so many feel deep inside. Isolated, lonely, dissed by those they shouldn't. This is the point, and brings comfort to know inside.

Simple, ACTUALLY DO what Jesus said to do. Period! Can't afford the time for it? Oh well...

Wow, you've been here almost no time at all and call me a hypocrite? All because i tried to help and you got in a huff about it. Perhaps when you come down off your high horse i may consider what you say, but not before then. Great way to show appreciation for someone who tried to help you with some advice on how to more effectively use the forums. Who's the one 'subtly dissing' others now? Who's the real hypocrite here?

If someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?

In other words, both of you could have conducted yourself's better...

God is a God of love not hate or despite... We all know who resembles hate and despite...
