My husband died a year and a half ago and I am lonely. Charles Stanley has helped me so much. I know God is with me, but as a human I am weak and long for my mate.

[@Nancy-hm9qh]

I live alone but I have God. Maybe you can get a therapy animal. Cat dog from shelters. They help me. 😊❤

[@Nancy-hm9qh]

So sorry to hear about your husband. I miss Dr. Stanley but we can watch him on video's. Praise God!. Praying for you. Friends maybe go to church. If you can drive. 😇

[@SJC54]

Sorry for your loss. 😢 My Mother transitioned July 27 2020. She was my best friend 😢 I still grieve for her. But I remember her by the little things she left behind. I remember her when I see the pictures I have of her. I remember her when I remember our conversations. Giving a burden to God is not easy it takes time. I realized that I eventually had to learn to submit the grief to Jesus and have compassion for myself in order that the grief would lighten. I believe the grief feeds the emotion of loneliness. This message is the answer to our deepest sadness and loneliness. Heed God’s word from Dr. Stanley. He’s still blessing us even in death. Thank God for this ministry and this Mighty Man of God! God bless you Sister. 🌹🙌🏽🌹

[@janaa.k.3609]

I feel your sorrow and send my love. I understand that’s abstract and coming from a stranger but it’s still real. I like to imagine we can and shall become kinder and genuinely interested in each other, much the way Mr. Stanley suggests in his comments above on ‘Godly friends.’ One way to address loneliness is by helping others because we do good, interact, and occupy ourselves with something other than our tribulations. I don’t know anything about MS or how it may inhibit you but even if you are at home and limited to using phone/computer technology, perhaps there are opportunities to volunteer as a Homework Helper, answer and route calls for a nonprofit, even work in phone-based customer service…fortunate for the stressed consumer to speak with someone who will actually listen and want to help. Maybe none of these options are right but, if you are here (not yet in Heaven) you have purpose and value beyond purpose. Not automatically easy to figure it out, but please don’t give up.

[@MissKim671]

@gjop-xm2xe, I'm 56 with MS and I'm lonely and isolated too. I believe part of my loneliness stems from my MS, all the changes we go through, the ups and downs of the disease and unless someone has MS, people will never understand what it's like. God bless you and I pray for healing for the both of us 😊🙏🏽

I never experienced loneliness more than when I was a kid I had a very hard time expressing the way I felt and how I expressed myself to others, the stress of growing up with an alcoholic parent and the other parent missing I had an obligation of being there for my younger sisters it was an extremely lonely time in my life.

[@VMR8648]

14:36 - I'm sad to say this, but in my experience it is far easier to build a relationship with Jesus than it is to find any Godly friends here on earth who will not betray me or judge me. 😟 I've only had ONE friend like that in my childhood, and she moved far away and I lost touch with her. These days, people are even more cunning and greedy, and judgemental to the core. Ive had 0 friends for decades now, I just dont trust anyone. Jesus is the only friend I have who will never betray me.

[@Leticia-rg8dw]

I was neglected by my parents as a child and felt this void in my heart , but after I prayed for deliverance and fulfillment as an adult and reading this Bible verse, Psalm 27:10 King James Version 10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. I no longer feel it. It amazes me how it disappeared even when I am reminded of it. All glory to God 🙌

I have no family. Divorced parents and a toxic parent who undermined all the sibling relationships so she would always have the only connection with them. My whole life has been so lonely. Some times are harder than others, but it’s been lifelong. God helps me a lot. Still, I don’t believe we were created to be alone. I will cry out and ask God for people he approves of, who will not hurt me. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@AV1611-NY]

My mother was the same way. Turn off family was very dysfunctional. My mother just died at 93 and my siblings taking over everything say mean things to me and about me to everyone. I definitely believe in ancestral curses. I will pray for you sorry that it took 12 days and nobody answered you. I don't think a lot of people watch this yet. Hang in there you're not alone

Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Thank you Lord Jesus for sending this word this morning. I have a family and yes a couple people who claim that they are friends but to be honest I have been so lonely even though I have all these people around me including my family. I have been through so much that I have not ever been able to share or speak about to anyone about my past.All the things you’ve saying Pastor Stanley I am and have been feeling for so many years. I have been so overwhelmed and lonely that at times I’ve thought about just calling it a day and just let go to end this loneliness but I know that isn’t the Father’s plan for my life. I haven’t been able to forgive myself for my past even though I know that the Father has forgiven me. I do wish I had a brother for iron to sharpen iron but I don’t. I’m afraid that if they know what a monster I was and share all the bitterness and resentment that is in my heart the anger I’ve been holding onto for so many years not at others but at myself.And yes Father I’ve cried out to you but I don’t know if you have heard my cries because of the inequities that are deep inside my heart.Thank you for sharing about being lonley amen.

I'm having a hard time trusting God. I've been praying for good Christian friends for at least 10 years and I haven't found anyone. Every church I've been to is full of hypocrites, fake people, people who stay in own cliques, no one is friendly. How am I supposed to believe that God will answer me? I'm so lonely and broken down. I don't understand why God lets me feel so alone every day.

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing personal opinion. Proverbs 18:2 Lord, to take the time to understand another person's perspective is one of the deepest forms of respect I can show them. Help me, today, make an effort to gain insight into the thoughts, experiences, and feelings of those who seem different from me and also those with whom I am at odds. Take away my fear of losing my long held opinions and ideas. Help me remember that truth can stand on its own and that sometimes my thoughts must change to come in line with that truth. The field cannot be well seen from within the field. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
