lonliness

[todd42]

Hello to you,

I wanted to ask you to pray for me as I feel lonely most of the time. I think I have been blessed with a great brain and a great career (social work) however, nothing I have been able to do in my life (fellowship/therapy) has ever been able to alleviate the feelings of loneliness I carry with me. I feel engaged when I work with clients and run groups, and I certainly feel like I have found my calling, however, I always feel lonely and will often verbalize that when I am at home... I am a long term sober guy and feel grateful that I am no longer challenged by the call to drink/use,,but I can't seem to shake this feeling of isolation, etc. Several weeks ago I signed up to do all sorts of volunteer work..while this is a nice distraction, I am aware that it is only a distraction.

Thanks so much for reading my missive. I'd love to have you pray for me as I know that some things can only be alleviated with the help of a higher power..

much love and luck to you..

Todd

Lord I pray you comfort my brother father. We all know the feeling of being alone or feeling that your all alone can be unbearable. Just let him know your love your peace. Bring him new things in his life that can fill these voids. you know us better than anyone ever will and only you can heal us. I pray in your name for him to be restored and find comfort in his heart. In Jesus name I pray

Amen

Oh Lord how many times father have I had these same thought, same feelings Lord comming home to no one, no special some one to pick me up at the airport or just simply feeling my life with things to alivate the pain of loneliness, but nothing helps Lord. Truely it has only been you that can fill that void and even then at times it is hard work. Lord your word says that "at the wishper of a your name you are there" and "a person with many friends must first be friendly, but there is a friend that is closer then a brother" that friend is you Jesus . Lord I know that all the love and affetion one could ever need is abundantly found in you. Please help Todd to experiance this Love and companionship like never before bring him full satisfaction in your company Lord in the name of Jesus I pray Amen!

Todd,

My prayers are with you on your feelings of lonliness.

I am posting bible verses in hopes that you gain some comfort and peace from it.

My encouragement to you is that you read and meditate on the scriptures. I have learned from my past and present personal situations, is that sometimes we can understand God a lot better when we can give him our undivided attention.

Focus on the Lord, he will never forsake or leave you.

God bless

Psalm 25

11: For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12: Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

13: He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.

14: The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

15: My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.

***16: Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

17: The troubles of my heart have multiplied; free me from my anguish.

18: Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.

19: See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me!

20: Guard my life and rescue me; let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

21: May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope is in you.
