lonely

Isaiah 40:27-31 ESV “Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God’? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary...

I am 56 years old, recently widowed (April 2022), a bit lonely, and would like to connect with someone who I could chat with via PM who's actually interested in interacting for companionship and friendship. Semi-retired from ministry, publish author, former mortgage banking. Widowed after...

Not a unique problem, I know, but I'm a very socially awkward person who ended up, by some miracle of God, making friends with this girl who had similar artistic interest to me. I always knew she was gorgeous, but I always figured she was off-limits, so I was content to just be friends. But...

Hey all. This year is the first year I've lived alone (almost a year now, anyway). I was fortunate to find a church that felt like a family away from home, but due to some theological differences creating an impasse (can't take communion without being a member, and I don't feel comfortable being...

I’m completely new here and not even sure I’m posting in the right place. Today, I decided to join this site just so that I can see if there is someone out there to talk to. Or if someone can understand and offer insight. I’ve never even used a forum, though I’ve read MANY on this topic over...

So, I'm not really sure what I'm writting here so bear with me. I'm really struggling in my life. I'm in my late 20's and struggling to work due to health problems. I'm also really struggling with isolation. I'm sociable but I don't have many friends, and even fewer of faith. However that I can...

If you are single and have few or no family members, what is your experience of finding your contentment in Jesus and having undivided devotion to the Lord? Regarding loneliness, how has God helped you and what's your experience been with loneliness or not being lonely? Also, what was it like...

Hi, i'm 28 and a single mum to my 6 year old son. His dad walked out on us years ago and i'm still heartbroken about it and heartbroken for my son. It hurts me that I have to go through parenthood alone. So I would like to talk to others with similar experiences, to comfort each other. I'm new...

Please can someone help me to feel better. I’m 21 and feel like a nobody. For the last 7/8 years I would say that I’ve not had a single friend or person I felt close to. My self confidence is absolutely zero and I can no longer even behave like a normal person anymore - I struggle to talk to...

An Original Work / November 27, 2019 When I was lonely and afflicted, You were there to pick me up. You took me in Your arms, And You tenderly held me. Your love embraced me. Your grace sustained me. When my heart cried out to You In my despair, You did not shun me, But You let me know that...

I have many problems I have struggled with for a long time. 1. I feel very lonely. I don’t really have friends and so spend all my time alone. When I go to university I sit alone because nobody wants to work/be with me. I’m not a bad person, I just don’t really talk as I struggle socially. 2. I...

Ive been struggling a lot with this lately. I live quite far from the closest parish and so its hard to have community their (though I'm slowly making a few friends). My friends in town live a very different life than me, have very different views. Some are protestant Christians, some are...

Hi everyone. My name is Cierra. I am a christian and have been my majority of my life. The past week I got broken up with by a man I thought I was going to marry. I helped lead him to church, did a lot for him and we even met each other’s families. This has left me very unstable. I have been...

I have been a born again Christian for almost 2 years now! In that short amount of time, I have undergone a huge amount of change. My mind has been restored and I've even been able to help other new converts by encouraging them, praying for them and lending a listening ear. Others in my local...

I feel like I've really missed out on experiences at university to make friends. I don't drink, talk to women, have good friends. What are your thoughts on going to nightclubs and having a drink or two to become more social and meet new people?

When I was 16/17 it seemed like my sexual desire for women left overnight and since then I begun to hate myself as I could never have a girlfriend because I'd be lying to myself and I wouldn't be able to please her properly or be honest with her. I did bad things to 'test' myself and I couldn't...

I am 20 now but when I was 17 I one day just seemed to lose my sexual attraction to women - I could still recognise when I liked the look of a girl but all deeper feelings had vanished. I did bad things at the time to 'test' myself as I thought I was going mad but to keep it simple I couldn't...

I'm 20 yrs old and at university and don't really have any friends. I find it difficult to socialise and speak with people and so I probably end up looking a bit weird and so people don't want to be with me. I only really hang around with one person and I'm not really even friends with them, my...

I am 20 yrs old and I am depressed because I fear I will be forever alone. Since 3 yrs ago I somehow seemed to lose my libido and attraction towards women overnight. I can still see the beauty of them but don't feel any strong urge towards them or anything and find it very difficult to be...
