New guy looking for chat and encouragement

God answers prayer.

Psalm 68:6 KJV
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Hey Randwulf, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through some tough times. I can say from experience that I've known what it is like to be sitting in the middle of a room full of people and feel totally alone. There will always be "dark nights of the soul," but there is one thing that you have. That is Christ. (I know it sounds Cliche But it really is true.

A story is told of Andrew Murray who was getting on in years and crossing the road in Capetown, South Africa. (This is a major paraphrase but hopefully you get the point) Part way across the road, one bystander noticed, that Mr Murray stopped mid way and stood there motionless, waiting. After some time he abruptly continued across the road. When the bystander was close enough he asked Andrew Murray why he had stopped half way across the road and just stood waiting? Mr Murray replied (with a little embarrassment perhaps?), Did you see that? Oh well, you see; I have come to the place in my walk with the Lord that I sense his presence at all times. If ever that changes and I don't have that sense that the Lord is present with me, I stop everything and wait until I do.

I have read some of his writings. He was a man who needed to know his Lord. I have appreciated that story and the encouragement of his writings. I have located some free online sources for a couple of his book that may give you some encouragement.

Abiding Presence

Abide in Christ

I also found this Audio Narration of another book if you prefer: The Masters Indwelling

I also am beginning to learn the ever present presence of Christ with me always. It has come through difficult and empty times, though I'm only just beginning to know him more.

All the best.

I hope you are feeling better and not so lonely. God is always with us. He loves you so much.

Welcome to CC, @Randwulf … This world can be a lonely place for many reasons; and giving in to loneliness only leads to isolation, which makes the whole situation much worse. But you are not giving in, and God is already working on your circumstances; after all, He led you here. He has already delivered you from the temptation to isolate and be overtaken by self-pity. He has given you strength to reach out. We all praise Him for that… AND, we praise Him in advance because we have faith that He will carry you through this dark time to better days. May you be encouraged here and blessed with ever-increasing joy in Him.

We are never without hope as long as we have Christ! I grew up in the more traditional church. But, now i go to a more free in Spirit pentecostal church. Wherever we go to church in Christ, we are seeking Him. The scriptures say that those who seek Him will find Him.
I am in my mid 50's and never married. Crying out to God about all His promises to me. Is it too late God?
I pray that we both rest in HIS embrace of His perfect Love. That is the only thing that will truly fill us completely.
BLESS YOU

The LORD will help you through this trial, @Randwulf. He hears your prayers and will watch over you all the days of your life.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
