As a believer in Christ I too struggle with loneliness. I have been single for several years and it can be frustrating. I can only cry to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Prayers for all those who are struggling. 🙏
I'm 36 now, feels like i wasted my years with grudges and social rejection because of the grudges (i closed my self). I always have this feeling that it is too late, and when i don't have the feeling i just waste my time. I got some grey hairs, that was my wake up call. Now i want a wife and 4 kids fast and be done with it, so that when i'm 55 i have 4 working kids to talk to who can give me comfort and support. The most important thing is meaningful social relationship with family so i need to make a family. I'm just scared of death at the end, it's like everything is wiped out. I think about how many people (and animals), 110 billions, have laughed and cried before us and they are all gone now and their memories are wiped out, this makes me sad, that in the end everything will be wiped out, it is disturbing my motivation to make family and makes me feel lonely. I beleive in god as a support teddy bear against loneliness and memory deletion, that at least god remembers, but I had a depression so i felt that if god remembers he is keeping it to himself, like a lonely parent who sees all his children die and sit lonely with only the memories for himself, this is also depressing. In summary, both good and bad life will be deleted at the end, we can only choose to dull this idea away from our awareness with as much social happiness as possible while we live. I'm very grateful for my mother and siblings, they are my gods now, they remember everything we did together. My grudgy father made everyone around him grudgy, he is dead now. I hope Aubrey de Grey and david Sinclair or some genius Chinese comes up with life extension medicine, it will a great motivation booster.
@@janeviveishilingi8514 Thank you so much Janevive. May God also answer and fullfill your heart's desires, if he hasn't already. Are you also seeking love etc?
I'm still single at 59(never been married),& I know&'with someone,though I still feel lonely at times.i pray the Lord will send you someone who is worthy of Him!
This was my favorite line as well. Something I need to maybe realize. Loosing my girlfriend is agonizing and lonely but maybe he is saving me from disaster or something better
100% I know this message is for me. God is speaking directly to me through this as this has been my major battle right now. I'm 19 and going through extreme loneliness as a college student who's Christian in Los Angeles of all places. Please pray for me. EDIT: Just want to say thank you to everyone who has said they're praying for me even almost three years later. I'm 22 now. Although not perfect, things have changed tremendously for me. I now have brothers I'd take bullets for, direction and purpose in life and so much more thankful for.
You're not alone. Satan want you to feel that way. Satan dont want you to have relationship with our lord. Satan want you to feel lonely. God is with you every second of your life. Pray always n ask God for his help. Dont give up. Satan is a BIG LIAR.Always remember that. God bless you always.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Loneliness has always gotten me into toxic relationships. I pray that I may feel Gods presence and embrace this season of being alone. In Jesus Holy name Amen.

When was Jesus ever really alone? In the Desert for 40 days but he was with his father, the Devil and Angels. He always had Crowds around him. Sometimes 100's. Even when the Disciples Betrayed him, he was Surrounded by a Crowd. When He hung on the Cross his Friends and Mother and Mary and his Disciples were at His Feet. So l don't understand?
@@bonniebester606 There is a difference between loneliness and being alone. You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. In essence, loneliness is being misunderstood. Jesus was misunderstood by many in the crowds, by the religious leaders, by his own followers and even his own family.
@@bonniebester606 Neither loneliness or autistic is from God, its an evil spirit. If you put your trust in JESUS as your Lord and Saviour, He washes away all your sins and frustrations and give you peace. With this peace JESUS also give you authority and power over all evil spirits. You just need t exercise that in JESUS name and command the loneliness to leave you or autistic to leave your son. Because the name of JESUS CHRIST is above all names all diseases and illness. JESUS CHRIST has done this for me so I know it is possible to be completely free.
Another cure for loneliness. Ask God to lead you to someone (maybe elderly) who's lonely and spend time with them bringing sunshine into their day. Doing something for someone else will bring great joy and takes focus of off ourselves.
that is a wonderful suggestion. someone else always has it worse for sure. make a difference where you can. Know that God does love you no matter what.
That is such great advice. Theres nothing that makes one feel better than giving to those who are in need. We reap what we sow - so if we want love - we should give it always. This life ain't nothing but GOD & LOVE - if we give love in all we do - even when we''re blue - God will take care of the rest.
So true one of my good friends and neighbor of 15 years is in a nursing home and alot of people there are lonely, I always feel better ❤ there saying hello to everyone
I feel so out of place in this world.... People don't understand my walk with God. The path is extremely narrow and lonely...I know others are on the same path but I don't see them.....
I’m approaching 40. Never been married, never had kids. I’ve seen literally all my friends get married and have families and buy homes and go on vacations. I love Jesus with all my heart. I’ve been praying for years for a husband and family. But I stopped praying I’ve just completely given up. I’m always surrounded by women and families and believe it or not but it makes me feel worse. I know I’ll be a Bride in Heaven. My home is with Jesus in the Heavens. So exhausted from the heart break and disappointments. I’m ready to go home.
@@BillyHendricks-wm1yq Hey thanks I appreciate that. I hope you have a nice day as well. Is autumn here in the Midwest, my favorite season of the year..
@@Christina_320God bless you sister. Don’t give up. I believe God will give you your hearts desires. I share your same struggle. It is so difficult but I love your dedication to Jesus in spite of! That is really special and God sees that ❤
For you who are single, I am married to a man who stopped sleeping in bed with me 7 years ago and now doesn't touch me at all. So even in a relationship some of us have the same lonely emptiness. I pray for you, please for me, for us.
I was looking for a comment from married people bc we can definitely feel lonely in our marriages. That hurt even more than being single bc when you’re single you don’t t have certain expectations as you do when you have a partner.. Hope your situation gets better🙏
Yes! And it’s even worse to be lonely in marriage and neglected because at least single people have the opportunity to find or look for someone to love them, if you’re married and alone you just have to suffer…
First time in my life I am struggling with this. I never minded being alone. I had many family and friends I could reach out to. But now, later in my life, most are gone. Deceased. My grandma, my aunt's, my mother, my best friend of 40 years, my former husband and father of children... many cousins... I am so lonely and feel so heart broken I cry so often. I just WEEP. I go to church and WEEP. Thank you for this video. Hugs to all you in the comment stream too. I needed to connect to this TRUTH. The devil is a liar, ya'll,
I am 49 years old and true friendship has been hard to find even in the church. I am so thankful for King Jesus. He builds me up time after time. Stay hopeful and prayerful. Wait on God's timing and blessings for true friends. God bless you all.
Do you ever take the initiative to be a friend to someone in the church?? My personal experience is that I am a friend to people that aren't necessarily my friend. However I no longer get annoyed by it. I just see myself doing what GOD call me to do. When I am on youtube I text like I am doing now to communicate with like minded people.
@Rebecca Nicholas Don't give up. Wait and pray. God is going to send someone to be your friend at church if you are at the right church that believes that we are saved by faith and not by our good actions. Jesus did it all on the cross to make you able to be forgiven, if you are truely sorry for your sins against God.❤
I understand! You just described my position. IT IS HARD! I pray God heard your cry and answered your prayer Quickly! Thank you Father God, in Jesus's name
My husband of 38 yrs left me Nov, 2022 & my mother passed away April 2023…the 2 people I have had in my life the longest… I feel it in my entire body… stomach, muscles, bones, heart & mind…I’m 62… if I didn’t have the Lord with me through this…it would be far far worse, thank you Jesus that you’ll never leave me❤️🩸
I lift you up in prayer seek Jesus and His word. May you find godly fellowship and in servicing one another. I've been blessed to help widows in their time need, book James, rec'd many hugs, words of wisdom ♥️
I'm in my 40's & I've struggled with isolating myself from being hurt from people & unfortunately it has led to loneliness for years..always on the search for love...starting with me & here I am!!
Loneliness has been a struggle for me also. I need friends and it seems nobody needs me. I will keep you in mind and hope your situation rises above your deep are. God bless you🙏❤
I don't know why we get so lonely. Its becuz we don't have friends or family who wants us to be close. I have 7 sisters and felt left out most of my life. Jesus is filling the emptiness with His love and mercy. I wait for His change in this. Patience is giving me the ability to wait on God's healing. 🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏

Humble advice: Is better not to think of this phrase from moral high ground to dismiss others. But use it to think if it applies to yourself and the ones you care to be saved.
I went see my mom that is in a nursing home and she feels very alone. I put this message on for her. It absolutely crushes my heart that I can’t bring her home and take care of her myself.
I needed this today. I have lived with chronic illness, pain, and suffering for years and it is the most lonely experience in the world. I've been up all night long feeling crippled with loneliness. Thank God for Dr. Stanley. He helps me not to lose my mind! Thank You LORD for this servant of yours. I pray that everyone feeling lonely right now would feel Your touch.
Rejection, neglect, abuse by family and a number of bad choices have left me lonely. I struggle to see and experience God for who He really is. I never married and have no children. Please pray for me.
Praying for you . God send you someone who be your friend who also love the Lord that's important.. I pray the Lord encourage you fill your heart with joy
Ask the lord for direction. He knows what you need. You need to respect his way and will when you receive it. When you do respect it as you would want to receive it. Have faith in who the lord is. He will open the doors. Believe in him and learn how he looks at things. It's his message on the cross. He clears out past and directs our future if we believe in him.
My beautiful wife of 36 years died from brain cancer in 3 weeks since we found out. So sudden and unexpected that it rocked my world with loneliness. All I have in this world is the hope and love of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. I talk with Him and He talks with me and it is enough. I trust Him and obey Him as much as I can. Thats all I can do. At 72, theres not much hope of finding another who loves me. I get it, but it's really tough because God is love and we all need to be loved. Things happen for reasons even if we don't understand. Lean not on your own understanding. Oh Lord, why would you be mindful of me? Thank you dear Lord Jesus.
I just wanted to tell you that you're not too old to find love again. My 84-year-old father-in-law lost his wife and he moved into a 55 over community and now he's engaged. There is a woman out there who would love you as a companion, friend and lover.
May 2022 My loneliness is accompanied by the greeving of the loss of my husband 3 weeks ago . Married 43 years 4 months.i gave my life to Christ in 1976. I know God is always with me . That's how I cope and taking One day at a time!!!
I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
Amen I needed this. I've been drowned I depression and loneliness. I will unto the Lord for my refuge and help to comfort my loneliness. I repent and confess for my sins. Send me Godly friends.

I'm so tired of people saying if you're saved you shouldn't be lonely. Loneliness isn't always tied to spirituality. Sometimes it comes from a lack of meaningful relationships in our lives.
This man passed away? Omg. I have just recently came to listening to him. He's the only one I can relate with. I love this man. I can't believe he's passed. So sad.
Becoming a christian cost me everything I ever had. It cost me my family, friends, house and numerous jobs. After my exwife left me for another man that she was having an affair with for most of the marriage. I lost my house that I had owned before I was married along with all of the furniture in the house. She stole all of the furniture while I was at work including cleaning out our banking account. I remember feeling lonely during the marriage and not knowing why. Its something that you never get over because it leaves you emotionally crippled for the rest of your life. I took me more than 10 years to recover financially but I'm still in love with Jesus for more than 35 years. Praise God!
Remember Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, was this women equally yoked how the bible tells us to marry and date? To me looking on the outside in it doesnt, I dont know if you believe in satan but the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy. That women has done that. There are also consequences of sinning. Do ou have the holy spirit? Were you baptized? Its because the holy spirit gives you discernment and guides you to the truth revealing wolves in sheep's skin
Yes and then s needs to convict us as Bible says they'll know we are Christians by our love 1John, found I can reach out to others and pray for godly care friend, good can provide 💗
I'm single and I just lost my beloved mother unexpectedly, and is been so hard. 😭💔. She lived with me in all my life, she was my mother, companion, best friend, confidant.. I've been praying to God to heal me. I don't know how I'm going to live without her. 😥
This my life to the T!!!!!!!!! I miss my mother sooo much everything I accomplished was for her she was my BF my cook my hair stylist my listening ear my world. I definitely understand your pain and I have no kids I’ll be 32 this year. God be with all of us.
I’m a wife, daughter, mother and sister and still very lonely. I try reaching out to people and staying encouraged but it doesn’t always work. My husband is way in the Middle East and I feel like he doesn’t even miss me, he can adapt well to any situation and I envy that about him. Because I’m the opposite. I’m desperately looking for work which isn’t making life any better and Just seems to add more worry and stress. It’s true what people say when you need a friend there’s usually no one around. This walk isn’t easy trying to stay right and do right as a Christian person I just pray for a supernatural breakthrough, peace and happiness. I pray for everyone who may be experiencing loneliness and or depression because it is tough and hurts so bad. However I want give up. Love you all and stay strong.

My friend i ca be your friend i'm always alone i only have my 1 son i have been suffering with depression all my life their when was a time i wish if i was dead that i could stop suffer the pain of loneliness but i realized it was'nt apart of God's and i beleive God allow me develop aspecial love for my son that each time the thought of death comes to me i refect on him. Its really hard and sometimes i wonder if this will ever stop
I'm sorry there are times when God himself lays this burden on you for a time and there is nothing you can do about. If you read the Psalms David was connected to God and still suffered loneliness, Moses lived alone in the desert for FORTY YEARS and he was connected to God. Job suffered intense loneliness and God said there was no one more loyal to God on the face of the earth. God lays that on you to accomplish something in your life. It is when he accomplishes his purpose in your life he lifts this burden from you. Dr. Stanley I've listen to you for almost 20 years and think the world of you and want to thank you for the wonderful influence you have been in my life.
No, J C is correct. David was chosen because he was ostracized by his family as the youngest. The father didn't even call David to see if the blessing fell upon him but kept him with the sheep. In David's loneliness he shed many tears while worshipping God with the sheep, God listened to those songs and loved his choice to devote his lonely hours to Him. "David... A man after my own heart" one of the only characters in the Bible given that description by God.
I'm 53 years old, divorced and a father of four. I'm empty, im drained. I wish I could open my heart and let Jesus in. I try, but I fail. I have so much love to give. I'm so alone and empty. I know I'm being selfish but, why doesn't God hear me. I don't want to die alone. I want peace. I'm so lost. I don't even know why I'm writing this.
Charles Stanley is my favorite preacher. I have been listening for over a decade! I know the Bible well, and I've never heard Dr. Stanley say anything but the truth.
A true man of God...very rare these days. Thank you Dr. Stanley for being such a faithful messenger of God. You have blessed me with your ministry. Amen
I live alone and have been living alone for the past 15 years and I have never been happier. God is here with me constantly. Lo I am with you always even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20
I needed this today, life with chronic illness and life by myself after divorce is very hard. I need prayer for healing and Godly friends. Thank you for touching lives Dr. Stanley. I believe the Holy Spirit anoints you in every message.

I needed this today too. I have lived with chronic illness for years and it is the most lonely experience in the world. I feel for you, sister. Also, it seems that so many of us with chronic illness have also been through a painful divorce. I have been there too. It's horrible. My heart goes out to you and I hope you are doing okay this year. Dr. Stanley is such a blessing. He helps me not to go crazy. LOL. God bless you.
Hang in there Annette. Divorce is awful, plain and simple. and chronic illness is the worst, but play the hand you are dealt. There are so many examples of those who went through our same struggles in the Bible. Read Proverbs and Job during your difficulties. I will pray for you. And let us thank God for Charles Stanley.
People go around speaking how lonely they are and are surprised when that's how their life is. Ask God to bring people of Him into your life and thank Him all through the day that He is bringing good people into your life. (Not unsaved people..they are more trouble than it's worth). The devil will try saying "THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ALONE". But just keep thanking God until it manifests. Anything you ask and believe for in prayer you'll receive. You'll reap if you don't faint. God bless who ever reads this with a Godly spouse and Godly people in their life.
Since I've come to the Truth I'm no longer lonely. I don't have a local church family right now and I told somebody that I was lonely but I guess it was a wrong choice of words I long for fellowship with other believers. Please pray with me that the Lord will lead and guide me. I really am sure now beyond a doubt that this will come to pass but I get impatient and at the same time I don't want to go just anywhere. Thank you in Jesus name amen. And thank you for this teaching. Exactly on time for me!
Do. Go anywhere. Learn to love them where they're at, the way God loves you where you're at. Go to the same church every week, and learn their names ... That is fellowship.
Sometimes in my Life when I need a friend to talk too but they are busy with their life and I feel alone. Then I keep still and a small voice comes towards me and whispered, you are not alone, I will always be with you and whatever you go through I will always be there for you. All I find is peace and I don't feel alone because I know for sure I am a child of God. When I feel lonely I talk to God in prayer. This message is just on time. Thank you and God bless🙏
Dilailah Kawane thank you for sharing that. I had that. I’m going through a physical change right now. Physiological detox from a drug and I’m living in a different environment so it’s very challenging right now.
That reminds me of this passage Isaiah 43:1-2 But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
One day i was asking God like this why i do not have someone to share what i am going through ?then in seconds one of the song i listen it years ago click in my ear that song was about Jesus the title is "one closer friend "that song is now my power for every feelings WE have Good God that can hear us in seconds 🙏🙏🙏🙏
WOW, this video is a message from God Himself. I was just crying and praying about feeling alone, meaningless, anxious, fearful and analyzing why I want to be alone -- googling whether it's wrong for a young Christian to live this way isolated. And then this video was posted. I feel like God is the only person in my life who I can truly confide in and I need to surrender to the Holy Spirit to be delivered. I instantly felt better, and more motivated for life even after praying.
This is who I recently became and I wasn’t even aware it was happening… Relocation into an entirely different environment… Feel the loss of friends, familiar church and familiar everything. Oh if you’re out there please pray for me and my emotional and mental physical health which has gone down the tubes this was not me before this.
@@leacastori1138 I will pray for you. The key is remembering we are not alone despite how we may feel and the Holy Spirit resides in us, as Dr. Stanley said. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
@@donnaiannelliwilliams4069 I'm sorry for your loss. I pray God will provide you comfort and healing. Jesus said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3)
Am lonely and tried all my best to engage in relationships but end up being frustrated. I'm approaching praying for God's fulfillment in my life as he promised.
When I got saved, I had to walk away from my friends. My discerning spirit made me realize they were not good for me with my walk with Jesus. I choose my friends, they don't choose me. The walk is narrow, but, thank God, I finally have peace and I love this new life. Thank you Jesus.
I am an 82year old man, who lost his wonderful wife six years ago and since then who's children are too busy to see me. I have good friends who I see often but my loneliness comes from the disconnect with my family. They are just too busy living their lives to spend any time with me. This Sunday morning I watched two of your videos on Loneliness, the 1st one was Living In The Shadows Of Loneliness and it was very good, it covered many reasons for loneliness including children like mine. Thi 2nd video, Overcoming Loneliness, never mentioned my problem, it was all about people who cause their own loneliness. It should have been titled differently or covered all causes. I am a religious person who has totally devoted time to God, especially since my wife died, and I communicate with Him in my daily life many times a day thanking Him for the wonderful life I have had, and asking Him to help me with my problems.
I too appreciate this message. I'm 55 yrs old. Yet it didn't cover being/feeling lonely your ENTIRE LIFE because of abandonment from the time of childhood. Mentioned nothing on that struggle and affect from it. I've fought a good fight to stand here this day. It's not gotten easier. It seems HARDER, especially because I'm older now. I pray, sit still listening for guidance. I pray and cry, then pray more. Been holding on to Proverbs 3: 5-6
Last year, I lost my youngest son to Covid, and I have been struggling with loneliness ever since. I have some good days, as well as not good days, no matter how much I pray and read the Word. I miss my son so much.
@@BillyHendricks-wm1yq Dear beloved, thank you for your beautiful message! My day was better because of you! A day doesn't go by that I don't think of my son; I miss him so much. It's precious souls like yourself that cause me to smile and to be grateful for another day. Much love and blessings❣
I struggle with loneliness and broken relationships.. it's so heartbreaking and overwhelming at 50 years old divorced remarried and widower trying to date and start over is so hard when all you want is companionship.
Thank You for this sermon Dr Stanley! Loneliness needs to be talked in church more than it does! My part is to call people and say hello can help a person's spirit I'm thinking of them and it helps my spirit also. Texting is not the same as hearing a person's voice or giving them a smile and a hug it will definitely get me out of myself and loneliness Praise God!
Amen. This is so true. Especially for young people. I'm in my late 20s and I've struggled with this, and even serving in the Church can make one feel lonely But I have been learning that when people create opportunities that foster belonging, it lends room to getting in those moments. I agree. Texting is not the same. Calling or meeting in person with someone is way better. We all go through loneliness, but we need God in those seasons and to pray for our connections, for people to get around. For Jesus to bring us Joy

Stayed in church, done everything that I know to do in order to please Him, and still lonely. God and the church have made it abundantly clear that loneliness in single people is not worth considering.

🏖 there's a huge difference from being "alone", and "lonely". I live alone (and love it)! I am not lonely!. Unless you are incapacitated, I sincerely understand - but there's so much "out there", that you can do for interaction with other people (and maybe meet someone if that's what you want)? ! My parents always said "if you're bored or lonely, get up and go help someone"!! Volunteer, go to festivals, help a neighbor ANYTHING to get your mind off of your/our own circumstances!. Friends/mates will come and go, but the Lord is with us always🙏. Don't ever let someone else be your light🌸
"It is NOT good for man (human) to be alone" That particular Scripture says enough in itself. We were created not only for an intimate relationship with God, but relationships with others. If someone is lonely, that doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong with them spiritually or emotionally! We all have innate, natural desires to love and be loved. I believe that while having a great relationship with God is pivotal, there's NOTHING wrong with desiring a romantic relationship with someone of the opposite sex just as long as that person is not a bad influence on you & will help you grow in all aspects of your life.

Although time alone can be a challenge when you are in a consistent personal relationship with God the Father through faith in Jesus Christ and in a relationship with Jesus you are not alone. You will never be alone again. Dr Stanley has great sermons on deepening your personal relationship with God. Its not about being perfect or sinless. Its about time. Quality time. You are loved.

Amen. Thank you father GOD for being with me in my loneliness. Thank you for loving me and always being close to me. I would not have made it through this wilderness without you.
I’m 33 and never married. I have been praying for years for a Godly handsome man to come into my life for the glory of God. When I’m battling life’s challenges by myself once more that’s when the enemy comes in to tempt me to overspend and start dating men I know are not my husband. I am growing tired of not having sex. I’ve even asked Dear Lord to take these desires away from me until the appointed time for me to meet my husband. I strive to be a better steward of my single season with just me and God ❤
I feel so lonely. During the months of April-June, i suffered so much dealing with attacks from the Enemy. I had so much hatred in my heart. Finally, during July I committed myself to God, He turned my life around. I finally wanted to please God! He was teaching me so much through his Word. Then school started for me and I let myself go. I feel so sad and alone, most of my friends have gone to other schools and have other stuff to do. COVID has definitely not helped, it's terrible. I get so lost in my thoughts I don't know what to do. I have become so desensitized towards everyone and God. I try to pray and read... I still feel like I am not getting anywhere. I also suffer from irreverent thoughts...it's hard.
I was recently give a huge KJV study Bible mi have read bible cover to cover before but o will try gat back to the word praise God Thanks Sir I come from a very fractured n Rough Klan I am the only believer its hard . Blessings from UK x
@Bert Clayton Hello thanks I will look that up for reference aswel. Need all the help I can get.. I used to use a another more modern Bible to help to understand some the hard to follow passages of the KJV. Thanks again for the info o will look it up
Wonderful message ❤️❤️.....Sometimes we need to be reminded that nothing in this world can make us whole...only Jesus can fill that void in our lives 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm an empty nester and divorcee. Had to to protect my children. Although time alone can be a challenge I will say when you are in a consistent personal relationship with God the Father through faith in Jesus and in a relationship with Jesus you are not alone. You will never be alone again. Dr Stanley has great sermons on deepening your personal relationship with God. Its not about being perfect. Its about time. Quality time. You are loved.
Okay, but why? If your always having relationship problems something is wrong somewhere. Ask God to help you and show you those areas where maybe you need to make changes. God bless.
How could anyone give this message a thumbs down? This was pure Godly wisdom. My mom used to tell me all this. This message was delivered with such love. :)
I struggle with loneliness still to this day but I’m so grateful that Jesus hasn’t left me even though I foolishly walk away please help us Lord to stay close to you and to remember your promises and your friendship with us.
I recall a missionary to a foreign land shared with us a song long time ago : "No longer lonely no longer lonely because Jesus is the Friend of friends to me..."
I have the same experience as most people here. Just let me accomplish what I am here for and then I want to go home. I have no sense of belonging in this world.
It's simple I'm single and I have prayed in faith for God to give me my future wife. He has not answered my prayers It's been 8 .5 years of waiting. But I will continue to pray and keep hope alive. I'm a believer.
Empty nest single Mom, living alone with many chronic illnesses. Been through domestic violence and other traumas and injustices. My kids are my life and my purpose and they’re grown. Lost my career from being ill. I wake up in the morning and feel so depressed. I pray to feel His presence. Most days I just want to go Home~ our Eternal Home. I feel so lost and hopeless.
Love you Charles Stanley. You brought me through a lot of hurt But we're not alone. God does not any us to suffer. Your scriptures are a life saver. Godbless you sir. And keep reading the scriptures.
I'm watching this for the second time. Its a powerful sermon. In these times, its not easy with COVID going on when you can't do things like you used to. But we can put our hope in God whenever we feel like we are lonely.
Thank you Lord and Dr.Stanley. This was for me to grow in a deeper relationship with God. A genuine one. One that takes time and sacrifice. Like all beautiful and godly relationships take. Have a Blessed Day🕊❤
"A person may be dressed like a million dollars, but their character may be worth about 20 cents." I love the way Dr. Stanley injects humor into God's word. There's no one better to teach practicing Christians, and those who want to learn how to be true Christians than Dr. Charles Stanley...bar none!
What I cannot comprehend is that there are so many non-believers that are married or in relationships and seem so happy and not plagued by loneliness. They reject Christ and yet seem so fulfilled. Why is that? I am not trying to challenge Dr. Stanley's mesage here. I am genuinely asking as a believer.
I know exactly what you mean. I think the key word in your comment is "seem." I've seen many people that seemed genuinely happy but didn't know them very closely. Also seemingly easy lives compared to some Christians at least based on my experience. I heard once that it's all a facade that people act happy apart from Jesus Christ. But I too have very close friends who are genuinely not saved and have deep happiness so it seems. My experience is one like yours. The Bible is true that none of us will be without excuse though. In my particular case I have openly witnessed and spoken of my faith to them throughout the years. Their responses they don't see how I can believe anything so wholeheartedly. One is a Unitarian of course which believes hell is on this Earth and when we die all will be perfect. I love them deeply genuinely as they have gotten older some of that happiness has given way to health issues. I still pray for their salvation. Others I believe when they are successful by the world's terms get caught up in here and now yet I don't believe they ever even think or confront what will happen after death. These are just my opinions.... I hope this helps
I Believe god will never leave me nor forsake me and I will choose to believe the truth that Christ is with me in spite of everything that I’m going through and in spite of life’s challenges and ups and downs 💖💖💖💖💖💖💙💙💙💙💙💙💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝❤️💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝❤️❤️❤️❤️💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
As a believer in Christ I too struggle with loneliness. I have been single for several years and it can be frustrating. I can only cry to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Prayers for all those who are struggling. 🙏
I'm 36 now, feels like i wasted my years with grudges and social rejection because of the grudges (i closed my self). I always have this feeling that it is too late, and when i don't have the feeling i just waste my time. I got some grey hairs, that was my wake up call. Now i want a wife and 4 kids fast and be done with it, so that when i'm 55 i have 4 working kids to talk to who can give me comfort and support.
The most important thing is meaningful social relationship with family so i need to make a family. I'm just scared of death at the end, it's like everything is wiped out. I think about how many people (and animals), 110 billions, have laughed and cried before us and they are all gone now and their memories are wiped out, this makes me sad, that in the end everything will be wiped out, it is disturbing my motivation to make family and makes me feel lonely.
I beleive in god as a support teddy bear against loneliness and memory deletion, that at least god remembers, but I had a depression so i felt that if god remembers he is keeping it to himself, like a lonely parent who sees all his children die and sit lonely with only the memories for himself, this is also depressing. In summary, both good and bad life will be deleted at the end, we can only choose to dull this idea away from our awareness with as much social happiness as possible while we live.
I'm very grateful for my mother and siblings, they are my gods now, they remember everything we did together. My grudgy father made everyone around him grudgy, he is dead now.
I hope Aubrey de Grey and david Sinclair or some genius Chinese comes up with life extension medicine, it will a great motivation booster.
@@janeviveishilingi8514 Thank you so much Janevive. May God also answer and fullfill your heart's desires, if he hasn't already. Are you also seeking love etc?

100% I know this message is for me. God is speaking directly to me through this as this has been my major battle right now. I'm 19 and going through extreme loneliness as a college student who's Christian in Los Angeles of all places. Please pray for me.
EDIT: Just want to say thank you to everyone who has said they're praying for me even almost three years later. I'm 22 now. Although not perfect, things have changed tremendously for me. I now have brothers I'd take bullets for, direction and purpose in life and so much more thankful for.
Stand your ground my friend🙏
Hangggg in THERE!! Seek he FIRST the KINGDOM. PLEASE PRAY to ask GOD to rebuke the SPIRIT of loneliness. God is FAITHFUL. Amennnn🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ayo you a strong 💪
We in different circumstances but I will pray fr you this morning .
Bless we in Jesus name
You're not alone. Satan want you to feel that way. Satan dont want you to have relationship with our lord. Satan want you to feel lonely. God is with you every second of your life. Pray always n ask God for his help. Dont give up. Satan is a BIG LIAR.Always remember that. God bless you always.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

“If anybody understood loneliness, Jesus did.” Straight up. A simple but powerful truth.
When was Jesus ever really alone? In the Desert for 40 days but he was with his father, the Devil and Angels. He always had Crowds around him. Sometimes 100's. Even when the Disciples Betrayed him, he was Surrounded by a Crowd. When He hung on the Cross his Friends and Mother and Mary and his Disciples were at His Feet. So l don't understand?
Bonnie, Jesus wasn't alone, but he was lonely.
@@bonniebester606 There is a difference between loneliness and being alone.
You can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely. In essence, loneliness is being misunderstood. Jesus was misunderstood by many in the crowds, by the religious leaders, by his own followers and even his own family.
@@KC-pw4nn loneliness is part of the plight of people. Existence. But it's unlikely any one could know that more than me...or my Autistic Adult son...
@@bonniebester606 Neither loneliness or autistic is from God, its an evil spirit. If you put your trust in JESUS as your Lord and Saviour, He washes away all your sins and frustrations and give you peace. With this peace JESUS also give you authority and power over all evil spirits. You just need t exercise that in JESUS name and command the loneliness to leave you or autistic to leave your son. Because the name of JESUS CHRIST is above all names all diseases and illness. JESUS CHRIST has done this for me so I know it is possible to be completely free.
Another cure for loneliness. Ask God to lead you to someone (maybe elderly) who's lonely and spend time with them
bringing sunshine into their day. Doing something for someone else will bring great joy and takes focus of off
ourselves.
I need to identify such a person
that is a wonderful suggestion. someone else always has it worse for sure. make a difference where you can. Know that God does love you no matter what.
That is such great advice. Theres nothing that makes one feel better than giving to those who are in need. We reap what we sow - so if we want love - we should give it always.
This life ain't nothing but GOD & LOVE - if we give love in all we do - even when we''re blue - God will take care of the rest.
So true one of my good friends and neighbor of 15 years is in a nursing home and alot of people there are lonely, I always feel better ❤ there saying hello to everyone
Awesome advice. Thanks!
I feel so out of place in this world.... People don't understand my walk with God. The path is extremely narrow and lonely...I know others are on the same path but I don't see them.....
I'm here. I can relate!
I can soooooo relate as well! 🙏
I know the Feeling✝️
God may have you alone for a reason! this is a time to get closer to Him.
This world is not our home. We are just pilgrims here, and I often find myself asking God to show me my mission. I just want to do it and go home!
I’m approaching 40. Never been married, never had kids. I’ve seen literally all my friends get married and have families and buy homes and go on vacations. I love Jesus with all my heart. I’ve been praying for years for a husband and family. But I stopped praying I’ve just completely given up. I’m always surrounded by women and families and believe it or not but it makes me feel worse. I know I’ll be a Bride in Heaven. My home is with Jesus in the Heavens. So exhausted from the heart break and disappointments. I’m ready to go home.

First time in my life I am struggling with this. I never minded being alone. I had many family and friends I could reach out to. But now, later in my life, most are gone. Deceased. My grandma, my aunt's, my mother, my best friend of 40 years, my former husband and father of children... many cousins... I am so lonely and feel so heart broken I cry so often. I just WEEP. I go to church and WEEP. Thank you for this video. Hugs to all you in the comment stream too. I needed to connect to this TRUTH. The devil is a liar, ya'll,

It’s 5am in the morning. And I’m hurt. I’m feeling lonely. I can’t sleep more. Thank you for the video.
Yes the early mornings are hardest, even 5am.
Nighttime and morning are very tough.
Yeah it's a guy thing I think. Same here.
I understand
I am 49 years old and true friendship has been hard to find even in the church. I am so thankful for King Jesus. He builds me up time after time. Stay hopeful and prayerful. Wait on God's timing and blessings for true friends. God bless you all.
How are you now?🙏
Do you ever take the initiative to be a friend to someone in the church?? My personal experience is that I am a friend to people that aren't necessarily my friend. However I no longer get annoyed by it. I just see myself doing what GOD call me to do. When I am on youtube I text like I am doing now to communicate with like minded people.
@Rebecca Nicholas Don't give up. Wait and pray. God is going to send someone to be your friend at church if you are at the right church that believes that we are saved by faith and not by our good actions. Jesus did it all on the cross to make you able to be forgiven, if you are truely sorry for your sins against God.❤
I agree with you.👍
I’m so down right now, I don’t know how I’m going to get out of this one. I can’t focus, I’m depressed I need God forreal. Pray for me please🙏🏽
Don't give up, God loves you !!!!!!
I understand! You just described my position. IT IS HARD! I pray God heard your cry and answered your prayer Quickly! Thank you Father God, in Jesus's name
I hope you are doing better. I. Pray that God has taken away your sorrow and loneliness
Stay strong bud. Things will get better. Probably. It’s pretty unlikely actually just give up 😊 it gets easier when you give in.
The Holy Spirit is your Comforter. Jesus is with you. God has people friends for you. God has people and friends for you.

Flip it around and you have Jesus
Humble advice: Is better not to think of this phrase from moral high ground to dismiss others. But use it to think if it applies to yourself and the ones you care to be saved.
This the best channel ever,. My whole life has changed because of this channel. Thank Dr. Charles.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Mine too
I just discovered this channel recently. Been watching and rewstching almost everyday
@@Mike-1127 amen
I concur! This is the BEST Channel on UA-cam. Dr. Charles Stanley has been speaking to me and ALL of his sermons are helping me get delivered.
been following since a child. you have messages of gold. I watch and rewatch too... it never gets old. 😉GOD Bless Dr. Stanley
I went see my mom that is in a nursing home and she feels very alone. I put this message on for her. It absolutely crushes my heart that I can’t bring her home and take care of her myself.
It is difficult to deal with. I went through that as well.
🙏🏻
@@sylviajones4907 So did I and it’s been 7 years and it only gets harder.
Same here ♥️
God can put the right person in your life to help you thru hard times.
I'm one of those guys who feels alone a lot, mainly just because I always have relationship problems
I'd like that very much.
God did put that person into my life in 2003. She committed suicide in 2009. Everything ends up badly, otherwise it wouldn't end.
@@silversurfer4441I'm so sorry for your loss of your loved one. I hope you find love again
I needed this today. I have lived with chronic illness, pain, and suffering for years and it is the most lonely experience in the world. I've been up all night long feeling crippled with loneliness. Thank God for Dr. Stanley. He helps me not to lose my mind! Thank You LORD for this servant of yours. I pray that everyone feeling lonely right now would feel Your touch.
❤
How are you now?
May the Holy Spirit of God in heaven be with you always, and may Jesus Christ our Savior comfort you Day and night, God‘s peace with you
I PRAY YOU ARE OK XXX
Thank you.
Rejection, neglect, abuse by family and a number of bad choices have left me lonely. I struggle to see and experience God for who He really is. I never married and have no children. Please pray for me.
I've gone through similar things regarding family.
You and I are not alone. We have each other. We have God and Jesus.
I understand. I’m there
Praying for you . God send you someone who be your friend who also love the Lord that's important.. I pray the Lord encourage you fill your heart with joy
Ask the lord for direction. He knows what you need. You need to respect his way and will when you receive it. When you do respect it as you would want to receive it. Have faith in who the lord is. He will open the doors. Believe in him and learn how he looks at things. It's his message on the cross. He clears out past and directs our future if we believe in him.
Praying for you, I know it is a year later but I pray your doing well.
Going on two years alone, Xmas, Thanksgiving, birthday, BBQ, etc... all alone ,thank you Jesus for comfort, peace, and strength
you doing alright bro?
My beautiful wife of 36 years died from brain cancer in 3 weeks since we found out. So sudden and unexpected that it rocked my world with loneliness. All I have in this world is the hope and love of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. I talk with Him and He talks with me and it is enough. I trust Him and obey Him as much as I can. Thats all I can do. At 72, theres not much hope of finding another who loves me. I get it, but it's really tough because God is love and we all need to be loved. Things happen for reasons even if we don't understand. Lean not on your own understanding. Oh Lord, why would you be mindful of me? Thank you dear Lord Jesus.
I just wanted to tell you that you're not too old to find love again. My 84-year-old father-in-law lost his wife and he moved into a 55 over community and now he's engaged. There is a woman out there who would love you as a companion, friend and lover.
RIP, Dr. Stanley. This message helped me through some dark times in my day. Thank you for all your work.
In these times it's soo hard to find a good Christian friend.
This is very true.
I know
May 2022

My husband died Nov.1 and yes loneliness is so hard i pray you find peace
Sorry for your loss Jennifer
I am too! 😢
I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!
Thank you so much for this.✝️🌅💜
Wooow, what a powerful and encouraging testimony! It made me cry, I am so happy you found Christ! Stay blessed

I'm so tired of people saying if you're saved you shouldn't be lonely. Loneliness isn't always tied to spirituality. Sometimes it comes from a lack of meaningful relationships in our lives.
Agree!
God be with you.
R.I.P charles stanley my favourite preacher.
This man passed away? Omg. I have just recently came to listening to him. He's the only one I can relate with. I love this man. I can't believe he's passed. So sad.
@@user-tg2fg9ry1s He's in a better place now i loved charles stanley also.
Becoming a christian cost me everything I ever had. It cost me my family, friends, house and numerous jobs. After my exwife left me for another man that she was having an affair with for most of the marriage. I lost my house that I had owned before I was married along with all of the furniture in the house. She stole all of the furniture while I was at work including cleaning out our banking account. I remember feeling lonely during the marriage and not knowing why. Its something that you never get over because it leaves you emotionally crippled for the rest of your life. I took me more than 10 years to recover financially but I'm still in love with Jesus for more than 35 years. Praise God!
Remember Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, was this women equally yoked how the bible tells us to marry and date? To me looking on the outside in it doesnt, I dont know if you believe in satan but the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy. That women has done that. There are also consequences of sinning. Do ou have the holy spirit? Were you baptized? Its because the holy spirit gives you discernment and guides you to the truth revealing wolves in sheep's skin
Our churches do not reach out to us anymore and it's heartbreaking
Yes and then s needs to convict us as Bible says they'll know we are Christians by our love 1John, found I can reach out to others and pray for godly care friend, good can provide 💗
I'm single and I just lost my beloved mother unexpectedly, and is been so hard. 😭💔. She lived with me in all my life, she was my mother, companion, best friend, confidant.. I've been praying to God to heal me. I don't know how I'm going to live without her. 😥
🙏
God Bless you!
This my life to the T!!!!!!!!! I miss my mother sooo much everything I accomplished was for her she was my BF my cook my hair stylist my listening ear my world. I definitely understand your pain and I have no kids I’ll be 32 this year. God be with all of us.
Hope your doing okay. I'm close with my mum and can't imagine losing her.
I am so sorry!!!! I hope you‘ll be fine. This is very sad 😔😔😔 you’re strong!
I’m a wife, daughter, mother and sister and still very lonely. I try reaching out to people and staying encouraged but it doesn’t always work.
My husband is way in the Middle East and I feel like he doesn’t even miss me, he can adapt well to any situation and I envy that about him. Because I’m the opposite.
I’m desperately looking for work which isn’t making life any better and Just seems to add more worry and stress.
It’s true what people say when you need a friend there’s usually no one around.
This walk isn’t easy trying to stay right and do right as a Christian person I just pray for a supernatural breakthrough, peace and happiness.
I pray for everyone who may be experiencing loneliness and or depression because it is tough and hurts so bad.
However I want give up.
Love you all and stay strong.
We are lifting you in our prayers, friend. We are praying for the Lord's provisions as well as His joy and peace to be with you. -Esther

I'm sorry there are times when God himself lays this burden on you for a time and there is nothing you can do about. If you read the Psalms David was connected to God and still suffered loneliness, Moses lived alone in the desert for FORTY YEARS and he was connected to God. Job suffered intense loneliness and God said there was no one more loyal to God on the face of the earth. God lays that on you to accomplish something in your life. It is when he accomplishes his purpose in your life he lifts this burden from you. Dr. Stanley I've listen to you for almost 20 years and think the world of you and want to thank you for the wonderful influence you have been in my life.
There is a difference between being alone (examples you provided) and feeling loneliness
No, J C is correct. David was chosen because he was ostracized by his family as the youngest. The father didn't even call David to see if the blessing fell upon him but kept him with the sheep. In David's loneliness he shed many tears while worshipping God with the sheep, God listened to those songs and loved his choice to devote his lonely hours to Him. "David... A man after my own heart" one of the only characters in the Bible given that description by God.
I'm 53 years old, divorced and a father of four. I'm empty, im drained. I wish I could open my heart and let Jesus in. I try, but I fail. I have so much love to give. I'm so alone and empty. I know I'm being selfish but, why doesn't God hear me. I don't want to die alone. I want peace. I'm so lost. I don't even know why I'm writing this.
@Robert Morgese how are you doing now? I hope you are now a believer in Jesus as Lord & Savior of your life. Pls let me know.
You're writing this because this is how you feel continue to pray and God will fix it
HI ROBERT, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?I PRAY ALL IS WELL WITH YOU. GOD BLESS 🙏🙂
Jesus is waiting for you to call him,he love's you.
🙏
Charles Stanley is my favorite preacher. I have been listening for over a decade! I know the Bible well, and I've never heard Dr. Stanley say anything but the truth.
Yes I agree about Dr. Charles Stanley also. He helps me almost every day when I have him on.
A true man of God...very rare these days. Thank you Dr. Stanley for being such a faithful messenger of God.
You have blessed me with your ministry.
Amen
Ex b fetch me
I live alone and have been living alone for the past 15 years and I have never been happier.
God is here with me constantly.
Lo I am with you always even to the end of the age.

Everytime i feel like craving to hear God's words, I always end up to this channel...
Yess! Me too. Dr. CHARLES STANLEY Is the BOMB!!!!! Thank God for Him....
I needed this today, life with chronic illness and life by myself after divorce is very hard. I need prayer for healing and Godly friends. Thank you for touching lives Dr. Stanley. I believe the Holy Spirit anoints you in every message.

I needed this today too. I have lived with chronic illness for years and it is the most lonely experience in the world. I feel for you, sister. Also, it seems that so many of us with chronic illness have also been through a painful divorce. I have been there too. It's horrible. My heart goes out to you and I hope you are doing okay this year. Dr. Stanley is such a blessing. He helps me not to go crazy. LOL. God bless you.
@@WeepingWidowSueAna same. If I didn't have intouch and Dr. Stanley to listen to. I'd go nuts. His messages keep me grounded. God bless you all!
Hang in there Annette. Divorce is awful, plain and simple. and chronic illness is the worst, but play the hand you are dealt. There are so many examples of those who went through our same struggles in the Bible. Read Proverbs and Job during your difficulties. I will pray for you. And let us thank God for Charles Stanley.
I know Jesus loves me with my mom,dad and two brothers all in heaven now I do feel lonely..pray for me
Dr. Stanley is one of the finest preachers of all time.
People go around speaking how lonely they are and are surprised when that's how their life is.
Ask God to bring people of Him into your life and thank Him all through the day that He is bringing good people into your life. (Not unsaved people..they are more trouble than it's worth).
The devil will try saying "THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE ALONE".
But just keep thanking God until it manifests.
Anything you ask and believe for in prayer you'll receive. You'll reap if you don't faint.
God bless who ever reads this with a Godly spouse and Godly people in their life.
Since I've come to the Truth I'm no longer lonely. I don't have a local church family right now and I told somebody that I was lonely but I guess it was a wrong choice of words I long for fellowship with other believers. Please pray with me that the Lord will lead and guide me. I really am sure now beyond a doubt that this will come to pass but I get impatient and at the same time I don't want to go just anywhere. Thank you in Jesus name amen. And thank you for this teaching. Exactly on time for me!
Voice record is strange. Why capitalize Beyond? just a thought? Nothing to do with message.
christsforgiveness.com Pastor David Lynn
I can relate. God had me leave a church that was teaching wrong doctrine. Now, I'm trying to find a church that will feed me God's Word, only!
Do. Go anywhere. Learn to love them where they're at, the way God loves you where you're at. Go to the same church every week, and learn their names ... That is fellowship.
@@michaelsnyder9047 i understand. I just need a "whole bible" church that believes in law and grace in balance. Way too many extremists out there.
Sometimes in my Life when I need a friend to talk too but they are busy with their life and I feel alone. Then I keep still and a small voice comes towards me and whispered, you are not alone, I will always be with you and whatever you go through I will always be there for you. All I find is peace and I don't feel alone because I know for sure I am a child of God. When I feel lonely I talk to God in prayer. This message is just on time. Thank you and God bless🙏
Dilailah Kawane thank you for sharing that. I had that. I’m going through a physical change right now. Physiological detox from a drug and I’m living in a different environment so it’s very challenging right now.
Dilailah Kawane I also feel the same, you are not alone. Everyone seems to be to busy for me also. But we are not ☺️Thank God
That reminds me of this passage Isaiah 43:1-2
But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
2 When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
One day i was asking God like this why i do not have someone to share what i am going through ?then in seconds one of the song i listen it years ago click in my ear that song was about Jesus the title is "one closer friend "that song is now my power for every feelings
WE have Good God that can hear us in seconds 🙏🙏🙏🙏
WOW, this video is a message from God Himself. I was just crying and praying about feeling alone, meaningless, anxious, fearful and analyzing why I want to be alone -- googling whether it's wrong for a young Christian to live this way isolated. And then this video was posted. I feel like God is the only person in my life who I can truly confide in and I need to surrender to the Holy Spirit to be delivered. I instantly felt better, and more motivated for life even after praying.
This is who I recently became and I wasn’t even aware it was happening… Relocation into an entirely different environment… Feel the loss of friends, familiar church and familiar everything. Oh if you’re out there please pray for me and my emotional and mental physical health which has gone down the tubes this was not me before this.
@@leacastori1138 I will pray for you. The key is remembering we are not alone despite how we may feel and the Holy Spirit resides in us, as Dr. Stanley said. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
Bertha Lovejoy reach out to your Pastor and church family feeling the way you do! Find a Pentecostal Church that prays in the Spirit
@@donnaiannelliwilliams4069 I'm sorry for your loss. I pray God will provide you comfort and healing. Jesus said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:3)
Am lonely and tried all my best to engage in relationships but end up being frustrated. I'm approaching praying for God's fulfillment in my life as he promised.
When I got saved, I had to walk away from my friends. My discerning spirit made me realize they were not good for me with my walk with Jesus. I choose my friends, they don't choose me. The walk is narrow, but, thank God, I finally have peace and I love this new life. Thank you Jesus.
AMEN, WELL SAID👍✌
I am an 82year old man, who lost his wonderful wife six years ago and since then who's children are too busy to see me. I have good friends who I see often but my loneliness comes from the disconnect with my family. They are just too busy living their lives to spend any time with me. This Sunday morning I watched two of your videos on Loneliness, the 1st one was Living In The Shadows Of Loneliness and it was very good, it covered many reasons for loneliness including children like mine. Thi 2nd video, Overcoming Loneliness, never mentioned my problem, it was all about people who cause their own loneliness. It should have been titled differently or covered all causes. I am a religious person who has totally devoted time to God, especially since my wife died, and I communicate with Him in my daily life many times a day thanking Him for the wonderful life I have had, and asking Him to help me with my problems.
Praying for you
Know how you feel.Ive been alone for years.
Church goer
I too appreciate this message. I'm 55 yrs old. Yet it didn't cover being/feeling lonely your ENTIRE LIFE because of abandonment from the time of childhood. Mentioned nothing on that struggle and affect from it. I've fought a good fight to stand here this day. It's not gotten easier. It seems HARDER, especially because I'm older now. I pray, sit still listening for guidance. I pray and cry, then pray more. Been holding on to Proverbs 3: 5-6
Last year, I lost my youngest son to Covid, and I have been struggling with loneliness ever since. I have some good days, as well as not good days, no matter how much I pray and read the Word. I miss my son so much.
There would be something wrong if you didn't miss him. Embrace fond memories and thank God you had him for many years. Talk to people who can relate.
@@BillyHendricks-wm1yq Dear beloved, thank you for your beautiful message! My day was better because of you! A day doesn't go by that I don't think of my son; I miss him so much. It's precious souls like yourself that cause me to smile and to be grateful for another day. Much love and blessings❣
I struggle with loneliness and broken relationships.. it's so heartbreaking and overwhelming at 50 years old divorced remarried and widower trying to date and start over is so hard when all you want is companionship.
🙏
i can relate to that🙏
Thank You for this sermon Dr Stanley! Loneliness needs to be talked in church more than it does! My part is to call people and say hello can help a person's spirit I'm thinking of them and it helps my spirit also. Texting is not the same as hearing a person's voice or giving them a smile and a hug it will definitely get me out of myself and loneliness Praise God!
Amen. This is so true. Especially for young people. I'm in my late 20s and I've struggled with this, and even serving in the Church can make one feel lonely But I have been learning that when people create opportunities that foster belonging, it lends room to getting in those moments. I agree. Texting is not the same. Calling or meeting in person with someone is way better. We all go through loneliness, but we need God in those seasons and to pray for our connections, for people to get around. For Jesus to bring us Joy
I am 47 and I’ve been lonely most of life. Sometimes I think loneliness is a punishment for sin. The wisdom of this man is incredible.

Stayed in church, done everything that I know to do in order to please Him, and still lonely. God and the church have made it abundantly clear that loneliness in single people is not worth considering.

🏖 there's a huge difference from being "alone", and "lonely". I live alone (and love it)! I am not lonely!. Unless you are incapacitated, I sincerely understand - but there's so much "out there", that you can do for interaction with other people (and maybe meet someone if that's what you want)? ! My parents always said "if you're bored or lonely, get up and go help someone"!! Volunteer, go to festivals, help a neighbor ANYTHING to get your mind off of your/our own circumstances!. Friends/mates will come and go, but the Lord is with us always🙏. Don't ever let someone else be your light🌸
"It is NOT good for man (human) to be alone" That particular Scripture says enough in itself. We were created not only for an intimate relationship with God, but relationships with others.
If someone is lonely, that doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong with them spiritually or emotionally! We all have innate, natural desires to love and be loved.
I believe that while having a great relationship with God is pivotal, there's NOTHING wrong with desiring a romantic relationship with someone of the opposite sex just as long as that person is not a bad influence on you & will help you grow in all aspects of your life.

Although time alone can be a challenge when you are in a consistent personal relationship with God the Father through faith in Jesus Christ and in a relationship with Jesus you are not alone. You will never be alone again. Dr Stanley has great sermons on deepening your personal relationship with God. Its not about being perfect or sinless. Its about time. Quality time. You are loved.
Iam 73 and very lonely no friends or family iv e become a reclusive try being friendly but no 1 wants me
This is what I needed to hear I've been fighting with loneliness for years but I know that God is with me
Sir How are you? JESUS CHRIST Loves you. JESUS CHRIST suffered so we can be free completely. You need peace to receive healing. I was always laughed outside but feeling sad and empty inside. Anxiety comes from Fear and causes Depression. Depression leads to Insomnia, mood swings, cramps, allergies, breathing problems and other health issues and finally suicide. I had all these for 27 years. But now I am completely free. Hear this, speak it and claim the healing upon yourself now and do it daily - ua-cam.com/video/5G6Nh4VvSR4/v-deo.html If you need someone to guide you step by step how to overcome this anxiety and never to return, please connect with me via email - Caroltang761117[at]gmail.com. I am happy to help you to be like me completely set free in CHRIST.
I AM ALONE BUT NEVER LONELY BECAUSE MY HEAVENLY FATHER IS WITH ME ALL THE TIME ❤ 🙏

I lost my husband over 2 yrs ago. I am still going through grief and I miss him terribly. I just want to be reunited with him again in eternally.
can I help you in anyway maam?
Amen. Thank you father GOD for being with me in my loneliness. Thank you for loving me and always being close to me. I would not have made it through this wilderness without you.
I’m 33 and never married. I have been praying for years for a Godly handsome man to come into my life for the glory of God. When I’m battling life’s challenges by myself once more that’s when the enemy comes in to tempt me to overspend and start dating men I know are not my husband. I am growing tired of not having sex. I’ve even asked Dear Lord to take these desires away from me until the appointed time for me to meet my husband. I strive to be a better steward of my single season with just me and God ❤
I’m 32 and in the same boat. It’s getting tougher and tougher. I wish you the best in this season!
• Lets Worship God all the Earth 🙌🏼😇
AMEN
Amen!
Amen
I feel so lonely. During the months of April-June, i suffered so much dealing with attacks from the Enemy. I had so much hatred in my heart. Finally, during July I committed myself to God, He turned my life around. I finally wanted to please God! He was teaching me so much through his Word. Then school started for me and I let myself go. I feel so sad and alone, most of my friends have gone to other schools and have other stuff to do. COVID has definitely not helped, it's terrible. I get so lost in my thoughts I don't know what to do. I have become so desensitized towards everyone and God. I try to pray and read... I still feel like I am not getting anywhere. I also suffer from irreverent thoughts...it's hard.

I'm one of those guys who feels alone a lot, mainly just because I always have relationship problems

I'm an empty nester and divorcee. Had to to protect my children. Although time alone can be a challenge I will say when you are in a consistent personal relationship with God the Father through faith in Jesus and in a relationship with Jesus you are not alone. You will never be alone again. Dr Stanley has great sermons on deepening your personal relationship with God. Its not about being perfect. Its about time. Quality time. You are loved.
Connor Bond I know how you feel man I can say the exact same
Okay, but why? If your always having relationship problems something is wrong somewhere. Ask God to help you and show you those areas where maybe you need to make changes. God bless.
How could anyone give this message a thumbs down? This was pure Godly wisdom. My mom used to tell me all this. This message was delivered with such love. :)
Me Too!!!
I struggle with loneliness still to this day but I’m so grateful that Jesus hasn’t left me even though I foolishly walk away please help us Lord to stay close to you and to remember your promises and your friendship with us.
This message puts loneliness into corrective action!!!! ❤
I recall a missionary to a foreign land shared with us a song long time ago : "No longer lonely no longer lonely because Jesus is the Friend of friends to me..."
I have the same experience as most people here. Just let me accomplish what I am here for and then I want to go home. I have no sense of belonging in this world.
Bless your heart.do u still fill this way today ?
It's simple I'm single and I have prayed in faith for God to give me my future wife. He has not answered my prayers It's been 8 .5 years of waiting. But I will continue to pray and keep hope alive. I'm a believer.
Agree in prayer with you. I understand. Gal 6:9. God be with you.
Thank you Jesus! He cares for me and loves me and He is watching out for me. What an awesome God I serve. Tears of joy 😭
Beautiful message....thank you for being such an incredible Servant of God❤

Empty nest single Mom, living alone with many chronic illnesses. Been through domestic violence and other traumas and injustices. My kids are my life and my purpose and they’re grown. Lost my career from being ill. I wake up in the morning and feel so depressed. I pray to feel His presence. Most days I just want to go Home~ our Eternal Home. I feel so lost and hopeless.
Hang in there there s a reason for evetything !!
I’m here w you... for you.. talk to me
Love you Charles Stanley.
You brought me through a lot of hurt
But we're not alone.
God does not any us to suffer.
Your scriptures are a life saver.
Godbless you sir.
And keep reading the scriptures.
What a wonderful preacher. This man is such a great person/ a true messenger of God. ❤
I'm watching this for the second time. Its a powerful sermon. In these times, its not easy with COVID going on when you can't do things like you used to. But we can put our hope in God whenever we feel like we are lonely.
God please heal my broken heart, give me real love and connections, god remove the depression, insecure and loneliness in Jesus name Amen
Amen❤
Inspiring and true. Thanks Dr. Stanley. Its difficult for me to make it to church. Having sermons so great at my finger tips is a real blessing
Thank you Lord and Dr.Stanley. This was for me to grow in a deeper relationship with God. A genuine one. One that takes time and sacrifice. Like all beautiful and godly relationships take. Have a Blessed Day🕊❤
Have a blesses day in Jesus name
"A person may be dressed like a million dollars, but their character may be worth about 20 cents." I love the way Dr. Stanley injects humor into God's word. There's no one better to teach practicing Christians, and those who want to learn how to be true Christians than Dr. Charles Stanley...bar none!
Thank you Jesus for never leaving me alone!
Feel so lonely. I would love to have a Godly genuine friend. Seems so hard to find. Prayers needed to get rid of loneliness.
Amen❤
i’ll be your friend
What I cannot comprehend is that there are so many non-believers that are married or in relationships and seem so happy and not plagued by loneliness. They reject Christ and yet seem so fulfilled. Why is that? I am not trying to challenge Dr. Stanley's mesage here. I am genuinely asking as a believer.
I know exactly what you mean. I think the key word in your comment is "seem." I've seen many people that seemed genuinely happy but didn't know them very closely. Also seemingly easy lives compared to some Christians at least based on my experience. I heard once that it's all a facade that people act happy apart from Jesus Christ. But I too have very close friends who are genuinely not saved and have deep happiness so it seems. My experience is one like yours. The Bible is true that none of us will be without excuse though. In my particular case I have openly witnessed and spoken of my faith to them throughout the years. Their responses they don't see how I can believe anything so wholeheartedly. One is a Unitarian of course which believes hell is on this Earth and when we die all will be perfect. I love them deeply genuinely as they have gotten older some of that happiness has given way to health issues. I still pray for their salvation. Others I believe when they are successful by the world's terms get caught up in here and now yet I don't believe they ever even think or confront what will happen after death. These are just my opinions....
I hope this helps
Thank you Charles Stanley for this wonderful message and for your faithfulness to GOD and the church !!!
This is a good message for a lot of us. God definitely uses Charles Stanley to speak His word.
A great teacher of the faith. Elder Stanley. Very grateful for this word and his sermons.
I Believe god will never leave me nor forsake me and I will choose to believe the truth that Christ is with me in spite of everything that I’m going through and in spite of life’s challenges and ups and downs 💖💖💖💖💖💖💙💙💙💙💙💙💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝❤️💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝❤️❤️❤️❤️💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💖💝💝💝💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
