Feeling alone

[foolishbunny]

man I been feeling down alot recently and at church they said something that really hit me how people felt alone even in scripture.
like even though Adam had the whole Garden he was still lonely
and Jesus could do any thing by him self he needed comfert from GOD

and i realized i'm really alone in School no one has the faith really and it seems so hard and girls like me sure but they want lust not love.
my friends look at me weird because i gave up porn and i say my grace before i eat even my parents dont get my religion my dad claims i'm going over board and i'm destroying my life instead of encouraging me they put me down and as an otaku any anime are lets face it perverted
but i have faith theres someone out there for me GOD ensures it...

Maybe God is calling you to live a single life. I think it's awesome that your so into your faith. But, I have to say this. Sometimes when people really show off their faith they tend to give others the wrong impression. Like instead of them being inspired they may get rather irritated and want to pick on you. I'm not saying to stop what your doing but, sometimes the simplest acts have the largest impressions. God bless. ^^

Bud sometimes being / feeling alone is the best place you can be. If you continue to seek God's guidance, dive into the word etc you'll come out a stronger individual. It can be even harder if you ignore God and try taking your own path (like I did). You then get in a relationship that you regret, two years later get out and having to have gone through crud you never needed to.

You'll be ok =)

It may also be possible that you're going through such a lonely stage so you'll be able to love people the way that God is showing His love to you now. You'll be able to relate to others' pain in a way that no one else can when they suffer in familiar ways. This is something that God had to teach me. Frankly, I still don't get it.

We all have our times of loneliness, and, even if it doesn't feel like it, God is always with you. Sometimes I also feel like I'm alone (to use the words of Kutless "lost in a sea of faces") but something always makes me feel loved. Find some Christian friends at church to talk to and many will not get your love for anime, they can build you up. You should join a bible study at ur church or hosted by someone your age. They can really support u in your down times. Stay strong in the Lord.
PS. wat always encourages me is the song "never Alone" by Barlow Girl. It makes me cry cuz its so true. Also "good girl" and "scream" by zoegirl, and "little girl" by jessa anderson. they can lift back on your feet when you've fallen.

wow I'll pray

I kinda know how u feel about school
all my friends steal and do drugs and do u know what. and I have no christian friends, but one that lives way away.
just know that u have the creator on ur side ^^
we all feel lonely and God uses it to get closer to us.

Wow, kudos to you for giving up porn even though your friends think it's weird.
I respect that. ^_^

But as Christians, it should be normal to feel like a misfit in this world. They use "light" and "darkness" to describe us and the world - polar opposites, basically! I'm not saying it's good to feel lonely all the time, but when you do feel down about not fitting in, remember it might be a sign of a good thing. I've never quite fit in at school. It's hard to when everyone is laughing about a "Jesus joke" or talking about the latest TV show that's filled with perversion...

yea I agree with u ^^

I can say I feel just how you feel, maybe worse, and I now know slowly but surly see what your replyers say, too. God is ALWAYS there, He will NEVER leave you, nor foresake you. He will never give you more than you can handle, and Hes more faithful and mentally sane than any girl. ^^
One thing that helped me was a simple, small daily devotional I take to work everyday (Our Daily Bread), that I can read on my break and take a few moments away from the stress of work, and the perversion of my coworkers. ^^

Hi, guys. I'm going to lock and redirect this thread because now we're trying to concentrate all issues with loneliness, depression, and other issues of the sort in this thread.

To the OP, you can repost your request here, and the rest of you can also respond and offer prayers as well.

Thanks for understanding!
