Think about a place where you belong. What makes that place feel safe?
I don't know. Why can't anywhere be safe?!🧖🧖🧖
My LITL church fellowship, everyone says they feel LOVE as SOON as they walk in the doors
Thank You for new life…
This message is SOOO important. I'm glad I stumbled back onto Life Church's channel today. I feel alone in public. I feel alone with people that call themselves my friends. I feel alone when someone says, "I wish there was something more I could do" when there are a near-infinite number of things they could do. I feel alone with Capitalism. Pure Capitalism will always separate people and pit them against each other. If we spent less time working and more time caring for each other we would be a much more mentally stable society.

Congrats jesus is with you and loves you forever
I have been feeling so lonely lately. Please pray for me that i find my God ordained husband soon😭💓
Father, we remember Rose today and her desire to have a husband. Lord if it is in Your will, direct her path in this direction, that she will find a man who is living for Christ. Help her to fast and pray as she seeks Your will, because having a prayerful life leads to intimacy with God, which leads to direction into our purpose on this earth. Please meet her needs both spoken and unspoken. I pray through Your Son Jesus, Amen!

I am right there with you girl ❤. Praying peace and love envelope you and in God's timing, provide the right man for you. And me❤ that the Lord open our eyes to what we are not seeing, in Jesus name, amen❤
@@jenns1649 thankyou my sister in Christ🌻💓. May the LORD bless you and strengthen you in this waiting season and answer our prayers soon. In Jesus name. Amen💓💗
Hello!
Are you 100% sure the Lord wants to provide the right husband or wife for each Christian? Do you know God's plans?
I pray that God will give you the godly husband in His time. Maybe it's just timing, use this time being alone to work on yourself. If marriage is your heart's desire then God will provide, why wouldn't He? He didn't make us to live life alone. If it's our choice to be alone that's another story. He's our Father who has the best for us🙏 ❤
Part of the problem, and even for me, we were taught to be independent and not have to rely on others for our happiness or joy.
Same here. I learned that it was shameful to show my real feelings and ask for help.
Tuning in from ny. Because loneliness is extremely painful, I've faced enough of it...help!🌇🦆🌇🦆🌇🦆
Amen! We have your back sister. Takes guts to admit loneliness, proud of you

Same for me. Its miserable! God bless you. 🙏♥️
Hello friend! You are not alone. Blessings from the PNW❤
Hugs 🫂 ❤
funny how I been feeling this for AWILE but especially yesterday. Then I see this today, my loneliness is extremely painful because I want someone who doesn’t want me and I feel like god isn’t around to comfort me and keep me from breaking apart again.
I'm sorry you are going through this, Martin. It is painful. Sometimes God allows us to feel some loneliness so we move closer in our relationship to Him. Lord Jesus, please give Martin a real sense of your loving presence. I pray you would bring others around him to help him feel a part of a community, a community that honors you and serves you. Amen.

We are never alone because God is always with us ❤
This really hit home, I have a friend who started a small group at our church for singles because most churches cater to couples or kids. This group is for anyone who "life happened" to, and I can tell you it's been the best thing that ever happened to me and to the people in our group.
🙏❤️
Im relocated to Las Vegas from Idaho about a year ago
. I attend Church and i am very Lonely.
Recently divorced after 30 years. I am broken to my core.
Now i understand why God Hates divorce.
Ive never felt so lonely in my life.
The church I attend has plenty of opportunities for me to get connected but i have so much fear depression etc. I miss my wife my family and friends from Idaho.
Please PRAY for me.
Does your church offer Divorce Care program? Went through a divorce myself and was greated with open arms at a church I didn't know at all. Please find out if they, or another church, offers this to help you heal. Much love from South Africa.
Praying for you.

I want to be more intentional in sharing the love of god. I’m going to step out of my comfort zone and find a life group.
Fort Worth Texas here
Yes, church!! This message spoke right to my heart this morning. I really needed this it makes me feel like I am not the only one lacking the intimacy of good Christian fellowship and it's tough sometimes as a single mom. It's been many years since I've been connected in the church community where we stayed and worshipped and prayed hours after a scheduled service. I've been intentional in making connections in my new community and will continue to push myself out of my comfort zone to be part of the church that I need in my life.
That's awesome to hear! May God continue to guide you!

My wife and I are missionaries in a small town in Peru, SA. We just got back from a 5 month furlough where we were immersed in community. Now we're in a spiritual desert again and are trying to stay on fire. You have no idea what a blessing community is until you love it and then lose it.
My mother is now in stage 4 cancer, please include her in your prayers. I'm crying right now as I type this. But I am hopeful that Lord will heal her. God bless us all!
Father, we ask that You rest Your healing hand over their mother. May You give her doctors wisdom to give her the right treatment. Give this family the strength to get through this season. In Jesus' name amen!
-Kat
I am praying for you and your mum
In Jesus's name I pray, I pray for healing for your mother. By the stripes of Jesus Christ, your mother healed IJN
So eager to hear this message
I'm so lonely. No one to hear me out. No one to confide in. I feel like disappearing from life. Don't want to exist anymore.
I will listen.if you were close to where i live i would meet in person.what do you need to say to someone?
Your valuable. You existing matters
Well, if Jesus takes us tomorrow, you won’t be waiting long. I know what you mean. I’ve had two careers stolen from my hands and everyone in my family seems to think I’m a loser and yet, I’m the only believer among them.
Sorry to hear that. Can you join a group near you?
Please pray for me. I’m dealing with loneliness and confuse. I need to find Solitude in my Jesus, My Lord and Father.
Father, may You guide Journey to Your will. Place Godly people in their path to show them the love of Christ. May Journey grow closer to You in Your Word, and in prayer every day. In Jesus' name amen!

@Journey, this is a prayer that God delights to answer! Lord Jesus, please help Journey to feel your presence and peace. Give Journey the desire and discipline to come to you first for their loneliness. Please clear Journey's mind of confusion, because you are not a God of confusion but peace. Please give them peace and comfort. Fill them up. In your name, Amen

I look Superbly Good, For Real💯
Help me to be more intentional to show your love as you love us
Needed this. Been holding dought, fears, and pressure on my shoulders. Feels like im standing in a 4x4 room with an open door, competing with myself with pro n cons. Pray for me. Thank u God for this message.
Lord we lift up to You @Jn Hn, trusting that You not only see them, but that You care for everything they are feeling. We ask for You to give them peace and the right community around them as they face this anxiety. We ask that in the hardest moments of anxiety and panic, You remind them of Your steadiness and power. In Jesus' name, amen.

Who isn't lonely?? Much less lonely in the minds of others. Um as far as a church that Pastor Craig mentions wants to happen.... this happens in small churches that are intimate. Most of the time I consider myself a fairly decent person, but often times either rejected or the other people are so into themselves that they don't want me around. Sometimes it's ok though cause I can get out and explore on my own. But there is a real dangerous thing... apparitions do exist and I had a very violent encounter with them that even though I've always had Faith and belief in Christ, these crazy spirits have been trying to mess with my mind and my life. I have the Bible open, scriptures written on some paper taped up on a couple walls in here, and another book to say prayers to make demons flee. I'm trying to hold it together as best I can 🙏
God bless you. I will be praying for you brother
I really long for this.🥺😢😔

Hawayu Life Church *& I Appreciate Pst.

Gathering of Grace, 2. Gathering of Healing & 3. Gathering of Mission Because How Great & How Pleasant When Brethren Dwell In Unity 4 We Must Bear Each Other's Burdens & Fulfill The Law of Christ & We Must Not Forsake The Assembling of Ourselves Together Written In Psalms 133:1, Galatians 6:2 & Hebrews 10:24 4 I Have Been Blessed Pst.

I'm praying and hoping in the power of Jesus that he can heal and restore our relationship because we miss eachother. 💔 I pray we can get a fresh new start together ❤️
Its miserable. I pray constantly for help. So lonely. 😭
