Prayer for the next few weeks

Hey man,

I'm sorry to hear you are going through hard times. I will pray for you, don't give up.
There are a lot of great people on this forum who will listen to you and give you advice if you need it. I have personally met many people on here who have been very helpful when I needed it most. I am glad you are here. I hope you stick around and fight it through...

Things can and do get better if you choose to fight and seek God with all your might.
I'll be praying for you. Drop me a PM at anytime!

hi, I've had my own battles with loneliness. I still am battling it, it's not fun. Especially during college, college can be a very lonely existence . . . away from home, surrounded by thousands of strangers.

I'm just going to tell you what I've learned from my own experience, and it might help you also.

I've learned that there are ALOT of lonely people out there. Satan will try to tell you that you are totally on your own, and that no one can understand you or identify with you. It's false, there are tons of lonely people out there, ESPECIALLY at colleges, so if if you can, just go talk to people. I'm a really reserved person so that's kinda difficult for me, but it does pay off if you can gather the courage to do it. I've learned that we shoudn't believe that no one can relate to ourselves. Satan's job would be really easy if he could just get all the Christians in the world not to talk to anybody else.

Also, of course, God is always with you and always aware of you, just depend on Him. He will turn this situation to good, and you can use your time alone to grow closer to Him and depend on Him more. So you are never really alone.

God also understands your pain. Jesus faced loneliness. People hated Him. He died a bloody, lonely death with no one to help Him. He loved everyone so much, and they despised Him and spat on Him and killed Him. I can't even imagine how emotionally painful that would be. He rose again to bring us with Him, so He could have our company. See, God doesn't want to be lonely either

God also realizes that loneliness is a bad thing. Right from the moment He created man, he saw that it was not good for man to be alone, so He gave us woman (Genesis 2:18 and on) God knows your situation and He knows how much loneliness stinks. Just trust that He will pull you through it, because He WILL.

Loneliness can be a dangerous time where Satan will try extra to attack you and make you fall. I know. Just pray and pray and just throw yourself to God.

Are there any Christian groups on campus that you can get involved with? Usually there are. Take advantage of that. It's really helped me. You might also look into some local churches. Having a supportive body of Christian friends to depend on is important in the lives of all Christians.

In the mean time, I'll be praying for you. Keep us updated on your situation. You have many friends here, feel free to come here anytime for help AND company. You are always welcome on Christian Forums.

The best advice I know of is to make yourself go meet some people and make yourself get involved with some Christian groups. You won't regret it. Keep your eyes on God, and pray like mad. Pray for all your needs, for new good friends, for courage, for strength to resist evil.

Grace to you, brother. God Bless you. Jesus loves you always, and is with you always.


Isaiah 41:8-10

a private message . . . you can send them to other people on the forums. I'm not exactly sure how they work, i don't use them very often, but if you look around the webpage, they are there somewhere

Dear Jesus,
Please bring Servant friends and happiness and show that he is loved. Also let him know that he can always PM me or send me an email. I am always willing to listen.
Amen.

servant4him,


First, praying for you.
I am sorry to hear that you are going through so much. The transition to college can be a difficult one, but as all things do, one day the experience will end, and it will be only a memory.

First, go to God! Read your Bible daily and pray. Second try to meet new people and make new friends. I don't have all the anwers to this as I am a bit of an introvert myself, but I know when I was in college, I did make several friends. We just met in class, and things, or they lived near me. Don't be afraid to talk to people.

I believe you mentioned something about a girl being the only peson showing concern for you, and you were wanting some guy friends. Plain and simple.. Do not push people our of your life that truly care for you!! Genuine concern is rare, and hard to come by. When you are at the lowest points in your life, take a look at who is truly there for you, and who cares about you. These are your true friends. They are a God send, take care of them.

Women can make very good friends. If you want advice on how to fix your car, they may not be able to help much. However, they do understand, loneliness, depression, and emotional pain, and many time can be more mature on these levels than men. I have learned so much from women friends in my life.

Also just because someone is a Christian is not an automatic gurantee that they are going to do everything right. As long as we are in the flesh, we are going to make mistakes. We are not perfect. We must forgive those who hurt us an move on.

BTW welcome to CF. There is a lot of great people here.
