I am having a difficult time here lately. My husband is away. I'm in a new town and state, where there's not a lot going on. There's not much support. I miss home and family and I'm tired of being "alone" without friends and anyone to really talk to. I've tried to reach out and make friends, but most people here choose to stay to themselves. Please pray for me and for God's will and guidance.

I've been single all my life. I never get lonely. Sometimes I get bored. My church is a big help. And I always have the Lord to talk to.

I pray you will use this time of being alone, to reflect on God's word, to spend time with him and to find the beauty in being alone. I know it feels difficult, but perhaps you need to lean more on God, and spend more time with him? Sometimes, I feel as though God removes things from our lives that have been distracting us in order to push us to him more. He is a selfish God, and I mean that in the most beautiful and joyous definition of selfish. He desires US so much, because of HIS LOVE for his, that he works so graciously to help us draw closer to him. We love you very much, as your brothers and sisters through Christ. You are never truly alone, please do not let the enemy convince you otherwise. The Lord is always with you, and we here will be thinking of you

Thank you. I really feel that it's like dreadnought said, it's boredom. Back home I was active in church. I always have been. I started writing devotionals and working with the youth in my teens. We are remotely located, so there's not a church nearby. I watch online on Sundays. In the past, I write, and that was my outlet and time alone with God. I've been through a series of traumatic events the past few months, with this being one of them. I haven't been able to write since the first event. Yes, I've spoken with someone. I was told it's a process and I just have to continue to move forward. That doesn't necessarily help, when sometimes you just need to talk about it to heal. Technically I've been "alone" most of my life. It's never bothered me until now. (And I know I'm never truly alone.) Regardless, I thank you for your prayers. My prayer is God will use me and use this time to strengthen me so that I can help someone with my testimony. I've laid this all in His hands, asking for His will and His guidance.

Lord God, we know that You desire to be in fellowship with us as much and more than we desire to be in fellowship with You. You laid out Your plan to reconcile us unto You. Thank You for loving us, for wanting to be close. Father, I pray that You draw us close and let Your presence be ever known in our hearts. I pray against the spirit of loneliness and the darkness it brings. I ask that You bring together Your children in fellowship and friendship. Thank You Jesus, thank You Lord God. In Your Holy Name! Amen!

Hello, SassyBee. Welcome to CF! I hope you find this space helpful.

I know it's not easy to cope alone, and I can certainly understand the feelings you expressed. I’m praying, asking God to surround you with His love, care and help you to settle down well in this new place. May He provide all the support you need, bless you with good friends and fellowship in the days ahead.

Have you tried getting involved at your local church? When my husband and I moved out of state we looked at different churches, we found a non- denominational one that we really liked and have been there for almost 18 years now. My husband has spent a lot of time out town with his job also. To help with the loneliness, I found ways that I can help volunteer, I got a part time job...These things helped me get involved in the community and I developed relationships that turned into friendships.

Unfortunately, we're remotely located, so there's not much of an option when it comes to churches. We have the base chapel, but I'm not being fed spiritually. Right now I watch a live broadcast of a church back home. I have offered to volunteer in town with the animal shelter, but with no response. I've tried introducing myself to my neighbors and inviting them over to get to know them, but they mostly keep to themselves. Right now I'm in Physical Therapy for a shoulder injury. This has kept me from keeping a job. (I had to resign because of the schedule.) However, the physical therapist has mentioned wanting to hire me, so I'm hopeful that will work out and where God wants me! :prayer:

Hmm...for the mountains may depart and the hills disappear, but my kindness shall not leave you. My promise of peace for you will never be broken says the lord who has mercy upon you.

There are friends who pretend to be friends but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you

I will never never fail you.. nor forsake you

i am always thinking of the lord and because He is so near I never need to stumble or to fail

I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you

:) Those are HIS words.. to YOU!

my God, my God, hear our prayers. You, Lord, are above all, all good, all power, all knowledge. May Your name be known across the world and throughout Your creation. May Your love, Your peace, and Your presence be felt in a real and powerful way. I ask that You provide a sense of connectedness, of community, and a sense of value in every moment of SassyBee's day. Heal her shoulder and place her where Your will is served. Thank You, Father God, for providing redemption for Your children. In the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen.
