What the Bible says about Loneliness

 Tonight I would like to talk about what the Bible says about Loneliness.  I want to begin by looking at scriptures. The scriptures we are going to look at tonight are Psalm 27 verse 10, 1 Peter 5 verse 7, Isaiah 41 verse 10, Psalm 23 verse 4, Hebrews 13 verse 5, Joshua 1 verse 5, John 14 verse 8, Philippians 4 verse 6-7, Psalm 38 verse 9, Psalm 147 verse 3, 1 Samuel 12 verse 22, Psalm 68 verse 5-6, Psalm 62 verse 8, Psalm 25 verse 16, Romans 8 verse 35-39, 2 Timothy 4 verse 16-18,  John 14 verse 13.

 I would like to share a song with all of you. The song is God Only Knows by For King and Country and the lyrics I want to share from that song say this: God only knows what you've been through, God only knows what they say about you, God only knows how it's killing you, But there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through, God only knows what they say about you, God only knows the real you, There's a kind of love that God only knows, There's a kind of love that, There's a kind of love, You keep a cover over every single secret, So afraid if someone saw them they would leave, But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you, Somebody, somebody will never leave you

God only knows what you've been through, God only knows what they say about you, God only knows how it's killing you, But there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through, God only knows what they say about you, God only knows the real you, There's a kind of love that God only knows

For the lonely, for the ashamed, The misunderstood, and the ones to blame, What if we could start over, We could start over, We could start over, Oh for the lonely, for the ashamed, The misunderstood, and the ones to blame

What if we could start over, We could start over, We could start over, 'Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows, God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you, God only knows the real you, But there's a kind of love that God only knows, God only knows what you've been through

God only knows what they say about you, God only knows the real you, There's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows where to find you, God only knows how to break through, God only knows the real you, There's a kind of love that God only knows

In all these lyrics we see that even when we feel lonely, misunderstood, feeling like we need a day to start over that God knows the real us, the people He made us to be in His Image, and the true love is God because only He knows our fears, our hurts, our anxieties, our problems. We all go through difficult times where we want to give up because we feel Loneliness, we feel alone which is apart of that because we feel and we get to some points in life where we feel discouraged and we just want to give up. See that is what the enemy wants from us, He doesn't want us to feel happy but He wants us to feel the Loneliness, and discouragement, and the doubts that are lies, that He puts in our head to make us feel down. I heard it once said by someone that I know that we sometimes have to get uncomfortable in our Faith and let God take over. Now I heard that from someone that I've gotten to know that has helped me grow spiritually with God and in my Faith walk with Him. I heard it from Joseph Neal who is host of His show and ministry Christian Media Spotlight. I share this with all of you because it reminds me that even when I feel lonely at times, that God, my family, friends, and everyone who has come into the ministries that I'm apart of and are in my life, were brought into my life for purpose because of God who brought them into my life to show me that there's so much more to this life than the loneliness and sadness we see on the news. We can take the loneliness, and turn it around into something good that God has planned.

My questions I want to ask all of you now is this.

When have you felt lonely, and how did you ask God to help you overcome the loneliness you felt?

If you could give advice to someone who feels loneliness a lot, what would you say to help them not feel so alone?

 here are some things I would like to share with all of you 

You are never alone when You are alone with God

Look for yourself and you will find loneliness and despair. But look for Christ and you will find Him and everything else. 

 Here are the last two things I would like to leave with tonight. Matthew 11 verse 28 says: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

We are not al-one We are... All One
