Loneliness is often something that  follows discouragement. We tend to feel that there is no one in our  lives to talk to or share our thoughts with, a shoulder to cry on, etc.  We should pray for a blessed spiritual family and friends as sometimes  we find ourselves opening up to them more. For instance, take the life  of Jesus, he gave so much importance to his spiritual family as compared  to his biological one. But there will be instances where we feel left  out from our spiritual family.

1 Samuel 30:1-6

We see in the life of David where he  was in a situation in which nobody in his life was there to support him.  And David regardless of all the travesty in his life, he strengthened  himself in the Lord.

There are two main ways to overcome  loneliness; with spiritual friendships and long lasting bonds, and being  aware that God is always with you.

Let us read some scriptural passages regarding this:

Joshua 1:9

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong  and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord  your God will be with you wherever you go.””

The Spirit of God is always with us wherever we go.

Isaiah 54:10

“Though the mountains be shaken and  the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken  nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion  on you.”

Isaiah 41:10

“So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help  you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

With these verses from the Bible you can fight against loneliness.

Romans 8:38-39

“For I am convinced that neither  death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the  future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in  all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is  in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

God has loved us with an inseparable love so never feel lonely or unwanted!
