Ever feel Lonely? What do you do to keep yourself busy so you wont fall back?


Ever Feel lonely? Especially when it's been such a long time someone has held you.

Okay, let's be honest here, although we do our best to be holy Christians, trying not to think of those tender moments, digging our heads in the bible so we wont be tempted or even an inch of emotion to run through our blood, sleeping on our bibles at night or hugging it so we can feel comfort, yes, He helps but doesnt solve the itch to be scratched completely or permanently.

I consider myself to be a strong woman of God,with spiritual gifts and a strong connection in the spirit with our Lord. 100% of the time, my thoughts are with God, actually all the time, but then it might creep in, for a moment, an hour, sometimes a day....the feeling of lonliness. Missing a human being, and i am not talking about sexual but companionship. Yes, Jesus is my all, and he so fulfills all that He is in me. And i wouldnt trade what I have with him for anyone or thing. But sometimes i find myself, missing...

Something I really dont want(so i thought) but seems to chase me every so often. I dont want my own desires to come in between Jesus and me; Especially since i havent learned how to balance them both. I've tried all different ways on how to keep myself occupied so i wont think of a mate, but here i am after I thought i was finished with it and staying solo,the "feelings" Crept on in again.
Yes, i worship and I declare, I am constantly in church, reading his word, doing his works, and i have a full time job. And still it slipped in.

Ever felt lonely? How do you handle that lonliness when it creeps in?

All advice is welcomed
Thanks!

p.s. i know i shouldnt say this becuz BC is a dating website,but i made more friends here than anything else.lol

Hi,

I find it hardest to not think about being lonely when one of my friends gets married or gets engaged. What helps me the most is doing something about. What I mean is, going out there and joining websites such as these and trusting the Lord. I always say to myself, "Faith without works is dead". I don't want just to sit around doing nothing, lamenting, hoping and being restless. Perhaps this is the way the Lord wants me to meet someone or maybe not. At least I'm doing something about it in faith.

Sister, you are already acting in faith by being on hear. My prayers are with you

Joy and blessings,

Karaey

Bill has said it. What you are feeling is normal. I could give you a religious answer but I am not going to do that. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

My son and I do stuff together. I know the area that you live in. I dont know tons of people there, but I do much work over in that area. When I get lonely I pray a little and maybe pop in a movie. I like the romantic stuff but I try and find something that keeps my mind going.

All I really can say is that you are in my prayers. We are made passionate creatures by the Lord. When your day comes and the right man is placed into your life, it will truely be a blessing. I have been on my own for almost ten years now after 20 years of marriage.

Dont be ashamed of thinking its wrong when you are remembering how it feels to be held. Thats a beautiful thing. God gave it for us. He just asks us that we honor him with making it a lifetime committment through marriage. That doesnt mean he doesnt honor a second marriage. We are under grace to do so. Blessings to you and your family
