I understand exactly how you feel, I have trouble making and keeping friends. I live with my parents and am close to my mom. I wish I could contact some friends i had in high school, but it seems they are not interested in me now. You are not alone, plenty of other people feel lonely. I have never been married, don't have any children. How long have you been a Christian? my family and have gone to different churches over the years. we found one we like. we really ar not faithful about weekly church attendance every week, I wish we could get better at going to church more often. I have been lucky to hear good sermons, from this pastor and others at former churches. I grew up in a Christian home, have been a Christian since childhood. I have some problems, disabilities, I am like a child. I would like to be friends, I'd like to have friends online since I have trouble finding real life friends.

Don't worry, these feelings are natural. Jesus loves you and wants to be your friend.

So sorry to you feel so lonely. I know the feeling and I know how hard it is when you don't have anyone to share your feelings with, to cry on someones shoulder, to laugh with and just having a friend to count on. I don't have enough post to PM anyone but as soon as I do if you want to talk I will be more than happy to talk to you. God Bless you my friend I will be praying for you.

Hi friends. I am deeply saddened by some of the posts i read here. My heart aches for people who feel lonely. and i have felt lonely too, but try to remember that sometimes we may feel lonely, but we are never alone. God is always with us. And i believe that he puts people in our lives to help us when we most need it.

I would love to be a friend to anyone who needs it. I know I am always in need of a new friend.
Blessings everyone.

Hi Dreams

I really do feel for you in this situation but I am not going to tell you it will be easy because it probably is not. BUT please do not give up because the rewards are going to be so wonderful for you and when I say that you will look back on this time and rejoice, I really mean it. Unfortunately sometimes we have to go through some really hard times to get to the good ones. A really good book which illustrates this is Hinds Feet On High Places. Sorry back to your questions - how do you give it to God? Keep praying Dreams and as you pray tell God that you give Him all your hopes and dreams and all your loneliness. At first you may not feel as though anything is happening but eventually you will have given it all to God and He will mould and shape your dreams and then give you them back. Sometimes this can take a long time but God is no man's (or woman's) debtor.
If God loves me so much why does He leave me so sad and lonely? There is something God wants you to have Dreams and for some reason He wants you to go through this time to be able to appreciate it fully. We know that God the Father loves Jesus the Son don't we? I wonder how Jesus felt when He uttered on the cross 'my God why did you forsake me?' Even Jesus asked the question why do I have to be here, can't it be done another way? None of us like the feelings and emotions when we feel alone or unloved, even when we have been through times like this before it doesn't mean we don't kick against it if they come again but once we are through these times we are different. God has taken our pains and somehow helped us to grow closer to Him. I will keep praying for you Dreams, you are very special to God and He loves you so very much and I know that He would not let this happen to you if it were not going to help you. I would like to give you this bible verse to read - Jeremiah 28:11 - for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope' Lord Jesus please hold unrealiseddreams very close to you at this difficult time and bring your peace in Your precious name I ask, amen :prayer: Dreams, I know this can work out for you and I will believe for you till you are strong enough to do so on your own.

Thank you so much for your reply, it has realy helped, I will read it over when I am feeling down. Thank you for taking the time to send that :)

Hi there,

I can understand your feelings of loneliness. It is SO hard to make friends. I was wondering how you were doing since this thread. I do hope you are doing much better.

Just know you're not alone. I'm sure you and I are not the only ones struggling in this area but it sure can feel like it most of the time.

I'm glad that you were able to come here and get some encouragement.

It helps to know that you thought of me and how I am doing even though you dont know me, I am getting there, trying to make an effort to get out and spend time with people. :)

Thank you for your message. I have never been very good at making friends, even when I was a child, although in recent years i seem to be 'coming out my shell' a bit. I try to go to church every week when possilbe, otherwise it gets easier and easier each week to miss it and before you know it you are not going at all.

Have you tried to get in touch with the friends you had in school, they might be very glad to hear from you. I have sent a friend request too :)

Thank you, it is good to remember that God is with me as well and not just the 'good Christians' that seem to have it all together :) I will try to remember how much he loves me :)

Hello dreams and all, I know how its like to be lonely. I am trying to reach to many of you as possible. Christians or not, we are brothers and sisters but just of a different faith :)

Please do add me and drop me a PM if you feel lonely, I will get back to you as son as possible

Matthew 25:40(NIV)
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

I'm sorry you feel so alone :-( I've felt that way from time to time, but admit I am blessed with a handful of very close friends. I will be praying that you find some lasting and meaningful relationships very soon and that you begin to realize that even if you are "alone" in the world that you still have worth to God. He loves you and cares about you and hurts when you hurt. Keep your faith in him, even when it seems tough. God bless you and please PM me if you ever need to talk or vent privately.

For a long time I had a very small circle of friends. Always mostly the same people. But I came across the site meetup.com which is a site that has meetings in every city around the globe. Or you can start you own. Started going to some, and started running my own too. I've met tons and tons of people now. It's crazy. And their good friends too because we have things in common. So try that site, if you wanna find a fun way to meet people face to face in your area.:clap:

A recent popular email quotes as follows:

Concentrate on this Sentence
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear.


There comes a point in your life when you realize:


Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
There is a reason they did not make it to your future

Awww your post touched me. I'm sorry you are feeling so lonely. I know it sounds cliche but we all do go through bouts of loneliness sometimes. Sounds like you're in a bad bout of it right now. I will pray that you find a good friend soon.
