Devoted to those who find themselves in the desolate place called loneliness. Please share your thoughts on positive ways to overcome this type of pain.

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

i am pretty lonely, and have no way to deal with it. Even when I am with other christians, i just feel like an outsider. The feeling gets worse when I am around people my age.

Jesus certainly felt lonely and all alone when he was hanging on the cross and the Father turned the other way. As Jesus understands the emotion of loneliness he is able to address the isolation that people feel in their lives.

The bible says God knows our names and since He knows us personally and has promised never to forsake us, then we can not say we are lonely. We have a friend in Jesus and a time would come when we would become a source of joy, love and hope to the people around us.

cheers

After living with lonliness for most of my life I just got comfortable with my own company combined with my relationship with Christ. It just kind of worked out that way.

Yes, I get lonely and at times it can seem unbearable, but I can usually counter my loneliness with one of my hobbies, or with prayer... yea, prayer helps.

I'm alone, but not desolate... Sometimes we need to be alone to feel the emptiness other had in their company or home stress.

We both are making it through. No matter the pain we have gained: Lonelines is simply a temporal state of mind (I started to love people another way: Distantly and prayfully!

Any day, we're going home, and HOME is where our hearts belong.

Loneliness can be alleviated when you realize how important you are to God and others, because you are important, more so than you obviously realize, my grandchildren keep me aware of that. When you help others on a daily basis, even if it's just a hello, you my friend have helped that person to feel he's important enough to be made aware of by your kind deed. Loneliness need not be when you are working to help others. When you do feel lonely let God know and he will show you how to overcome it. Helping people on this forum helps to shake loneliness out of us for awhile. My prayer is that God helps us all with feelings of loneliness by keeping us wrapped in his love, for he created us for his pleasure, could it be he was lonely to, if that is true he sure did know how to do away with loneliness, because he has more friends than anyone else in the world and he keeps busy always wanting to help others, so you see we to should do the same, after all, to be loved by God is the best loneliness deterrent ever.

He also felt that grievance when He wnated His friends prayed at the garden... When He shed blood tears and, probably, spent years of loneliness, because He wasn't aloowed to tell WHO HE WAS, except when He started His earthly ministry.

Just think: I am the Son of God, and Eternal and supernatural being, but I cannot tell other WHO I AM, because I will be taken as a crazy man (Just imagine, this very moment "I am GOD")

What would be the end result?

a) Banned
b) Kick off
c) Banged or
d) Hung

Though GOD knows who I am, and I know so little about me, till the day He calls me HOME.

That's amazing! We all are His children, but it is HIS SAYING that really WORTHS. :)

My loneliness is so complete that my prayer is that I can get to McDonald's so I can sit and watch other humans!

Yet, there are ways to fill my life, I'll make it even without McDonald. The man I use for bible study is showing me all that the book of Ester teaches us, I get to know my Lord more intimately. I must decide on what bread recipe to set to rise in the frig. The woman I loved so in college years and roomed with turned up, I thought we had lost each other. I get to bible study once a week, last week the study brought to mind how to cope with these last days, and what we all will be facing. This isolation is only one of the tiny parts of it, if it wasn't for the breakup of family that is part of the last days, I would be in the midst of love and family. There is that painting to complete, it shows the beauty of a lake in the forest. I need to get the mystery of the water to be apparent. I find that my old roommate is having trouble with her faith, we email several times a day, now.

All together, everyone, send me your prayers for God to use me for my roomy's faith.

Life is so full of so many things, wonderful things. And always, when we look and listen God lets us fill it. Job did it. We can, too.

Roy Orbison was great, but I don't think he was ever lonely.

He died married to a smoking hot music producer.


It isn't necessary to be rich, famous, and able to melt women with your voice...
but it does come with a few perks.
