Loneliness is a lie!

Believer and follower of Jesus Christ,

First and foremost, I know that I am grateful and thankful for the love that God has and is showing me. I never really prayed for anyone until I have learned that in anything I do, it is about energy and mindfulness. When I pray for someone and focus my energy on that person, it can feel like anxiety. So, that is where I am in my walk. It is a sacrifice to pray for someone or anyone for that matter. It is through my time of loneliness that I have realized my own selfishness and that God has brought me to this quiet place of trusting in him and him alone. That lesson has to do with faith alone. I’ve never learned to trust anyone, not my parents, not my wife (kids), not any human being do I trust. That is where I am learning to lean on God and finally realizing that it was God’s direction, regardless, allowing me to live, right, wrong and indifferently and I praise him that I’ve escaped much. How much time that I’ve wasted on what people think about me, including survival. Today, as I watch the USA collapsing, I thank God for allowing me and giving me the time to fully repent and learn more about who he is. It’s sad the examples that mold our ways of thinking, when all along, Christ stands at the door and knocks, it’s that simple, bottom line. The hardest part is getting past the illusions and lies of Satan and the filth he created in humanity. Why does humanity include Santa with such a sacred gift from God? He is patient with the lies, for now! God is patient and it shows in his creation, for now! It is man that has ruined what God has created, man and Satan together! To me, this is the most saddest song of disobedience and trying to manipulate the Will of God! I am at a place in my life where I have realized my heart is only joyfully filled when the truth of God is present. I've lost and I’ve gained. And again, as I watch the behavior of man, I’ve realized that the Word of God must be studied in sacrifice and eagerness. God is the judge, I am not a judge. I fail miserably at being a judge, even as our world leaders will find themselves eternally lost without Jesus Christ, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords! I know who my true friend and companion is! In my loneliness, I will continue to submit to the Holy Spirit and I will remain quiet and continue in prayer and obedience, prayer without ceasing! We are not alone when we are in Jesus Christ. Amen.

In Christ,

The Bible acknowledges loneliness as a painful human reality, often highlighting it through emotional struggles in the Psalms (King David), yet it offers comfort by promising God’s constant presence, companionship, and care. Scripture teaches that believers are never truly alone because God is with them. 

Key Biblical Perspectives on Loneliness:

  • God’s Presence as the Cure: The primary biblical remedy is recognizing that God is present, even in the "wilderness" or during isolation. God promises to never leave or forsake his people (Hebrews 13:5-6).

  • The "Helper" Promise: God provides companionship and acts as a defender, specifically for those feeling alone or brokenhearted (Psalm 68:5-6, Psalm 147:3).

  • Jesus’ Understanding: Jesus experienced deep abandonment, assuring believers that he understands and sticks "closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24).

  • Good Friends: (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

  • Turning Fear into Prayer: Scripture encourages sharing feelings of loneliness directly with God, as seen in David's pleas for comfort in the Psalms (Psalm 25:16-17).  Note: David studied his God and found forgiveness in his errors!

Comforting Scriptures on Loneliness:

  • Psalm 139:7-10: God is always near, supporting us wherever we go.

  • Isaiah 41:10: A promise of strength and help, encouraging no fear.

  • Matthew 28:20: Jesus promises to be with his followers until the end of the age.

  • Romans 8:38-39: The promise that absolutely nothing can separate believers from the love of God.
