Disconnecting and isolating ourselves is a strategy that dooms us to failure. Typically, when a person isolates himself, he becomes his own adviser, and that usually dooms him to receive faulty advice.

Read Proverbs 18:24 in several translations (New Living Translation, King James Version, and New International Version). Each version gives a slightly different perspective about friendship.
• The KJV encourages each of us to seek friends by reaching out and being friendly.
• The NIV encourages us to find a close friend who would be closer than a natural brother.
• The NLT says there are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
The important point is to connect with others who will be true friends and provide support and care when needed.

GOD’S TRUTH FOR EACH OTHER
I invite you to pull out a Bible and take a moment to let God’s Word sink in.
Here are some convincing scriptures that God’s way is for us to work with one another and be there for one another— connected—as we seek healing. Look at God’s truth:
• Romans 12:5 tells us to depend on each other as one body in Christ.
• Romans 12:15 tells us to weep with each other, when we often just want to weep alone.
• Romans 15:14 tells us to counsel and teach each other, when we want to just wait and hear from God.
• 1 Corinthians 12:25 tells us to care for each other.
• 1 Thessalonians 5:11 tells us to encourage and build each other up.
• Ephesians 4:2 tells us to uphold each other, when we try to act like we don’t need anyone.
• Ephesians 5:21 tells us to submit to each other, meaning you are to do more than just submit to God.
• Hebrews 10:24 tells us to stir up love in each other and share it.
• 1 Peter 4:10 tells us to minister to each other, so God’s generosity is shared.
• James 5:16 tells us to tell each other what we have done wrong—then we can experience healing.
• Galatians 6:2 tells us to bear each other’s burdens, when all we want to do is take them to God.

Iam blessed knowing How God works through your lives and other peoples lives.

I think the loneliness you felt is understandable. Simple, short and practical advice. First, even how lonely you get or what other emotions rises in you, Keep the faith and your love relationship with God. That is the foundation and "the" most important one. Second, When you feel alone, spend time with God through prayer and His Word.

I believe loneliness is an opportunity for us to realize apart from God we are nothing and that God alone can bring joy and in peace in our hearts.

Don't give up sister, Keep doing what is noble and good for God. Keep the faith, allow our brothers and sisters in Christ to water the seed and God will definitely make it grow in His own timing and time. God Bless.
