I cant imagine how sad you may feel at times.. I know loneliness doesn't feel good, but I ask you to hold tight just a little while longer. Speak to God today, get on your knees today and pray to God what you are feeling, God Cares,,.. he does,, Sometimes. we just dont know what is the delay.. but just know its not in vain that their is goodness that comes out of this for you
Read your Bible for 2 - 3 hours a day and listen to upbeat Christian music for most of the day (I enjoy Riley Clemmons myself). Music has a way of filling your heart with joy - and when you come across a song which gives you joy and strength, put it on repeat until you can move on gracefully to the next song. I have listened to songs thousands of times on repeat and it fills me with joy, then you share your smile with the world Reading fills your spirit and soul, and if you are feeling adventurous go into some debates to test your knowledge of Jesus.
@@returningtoperfection thank you for writing to me. I have been listening to you you tube videos on different bible passages. I need to read my bible more, yes. I find it hard sometimes to read it alone. I have volunteered at my church to be a children's leader one day a week. I'm trying not to think about my own pain and instead just love others. Thank you for the love you've shown me. X
Maybe you can find a way to do some volunteer work (I don't know your age or circumstance), even if it is just for a day or two a week--perhaps get involved in a church or and help with activities, this might be a way to meet people. Maybe a free group in your community or online would be good as well. I can relate to the being alone though, I have spent more time alone over the past 3 years than I've ever spent in my life. For me, it has also been financially tough, so I have spent a lot of time with God. 🙏🏾✝️😇

Lonely for about 3 years and through this season I have been through pain, anxieties, worries and hardships but I am grateful for all that I experience, it was through pain that I gained, Godly sorrow. I have felt God heal my heart. I have accomplished certain life goals. Without God, I would have never made it this far. Praise the Lord! He can do it for anyone🙏
I am someone who does not like to be alone and going through anxiety, loneliness or anything but I am starting to understand after watching this message. Thank you for sharing, it helped me. God bless abundantly 🙌👑
Since my divorce, I've been living on my own for 15 years! Loneliness and supporting myself has been a struggle, but my faith and relationship with the Lord has grown in leaps and bounds! I'm living proof that the Lord takes good care of His own. I would never had made it this far without Him.
I understand completely....I too am divorced for 13years now, and have come to learn and depend on God. I have totally surrendered myself, and if it's in his will, he will show me how beautiful a healthy relationship can be! They will be done!
Ugh these comments are so disheartening. So long. I don't wanna wait that long. I told God if he's going to make me wait until I'm old and decrepit then to just let me die young.
@@amandabanks173 LOL I prayed that same prayer repeatedly in 2009 and 2010! Guess what - the only way out of the dark valley is going through it. "But take heart, I have overcome the world! "If God is for you, who can be against you?" "I know the plans I have for you - to prosper you, not to harm you." ...Memorize and Declare God's promises every morning before you start your day, and watch what He will do!
If we can making it alone so nothing can't stop us, God is with us. Keep having faith in God, take care of yourself in every single part of your life 💫✨
Every human being needs to have someone special in their life. They need that human being to laugh with, cry with, talk with, enjoy, resolve and receive physical touch. I have been alone for close to 20 yrs. My depression has been my blanket. I believe in God but I don't believe it is good for a person to go through life physically alone. There's a lot of suffering with being alone and feeling lonely.
What if she doesn't let me leave her. ... I'm so confused... Love is not here anymore... I feel bad abandon her. She has no one else. ... .I don't want to get reattached to her. She'll end up hurting me again.
I have been alone for more than 17 years but I was never lonely. It's been the best years of my life and wouldn't want it to change. GOD has been with me all these times and that's good enough for me.
I am single, un married, at the age of 23 I lost my father, then 27 th I lost my mother. My only hope is lord Jesus. . I ve lot of ailments in my body in this age. More than 35 years I am alone.
Good on u!!! I'm still struggling to be in a place of contentment but reading ur comment is inspiring 😊 where I want to be. Never married and have been single of 11 years. I'm turning 32 this year and it's been a season of isolation, testing and hardship. But I know God is working 💪
I totally understand. I also have been alone for 8 years. It is very difficult, but this season has also drew me closer to God. I learned much more about His Word (Scripture), my studies have been deeper and untainted, my relationship with Him grew more, I received His counsel on what/who to keep or remove in my life, etc. Although this is the hardest time of my life, I am also thankful for it. I would have never grown more without it. I encourage you to continue to draw closer to God and He will guide you through this season and prepare you for the next one. Seasons always change. It’s not permanent. Hang in there! God bless!!
My long season of solitude has been going on for 9 years now. And while I do get lonely at times, and wished I had a man to help shoulder me in tough times, I know I am alone for a reason. I was always in bad relationships with men who only used me. And I despised myself. Now, I have grown to love myself, love God, and love my solitude. I know that when the time is right, He will put a man in my path for me. But for now, I go it alone, with God by my side.
I had never seen a bible, at 34 I said out loud, if there is a God why am I alone. I heard a voice say you belong to me now. I actually looked around for someone but nobody was there.
I left my ex-boyfriend going on 8 months now. I don't feel alone because I pray and read scripture and I know I need time for recovery from a very brutal mentally abusive relationship I was in. I see this time alone as spiritual awareness and healing. My ex didn't want anything to do with God and I knew I couldn't stay with him. I had to move in with my mother, which I'm not proud of but he had me move to another state and changed his mind after I had packed up everything I owned, twice he did this to me. So, now I'm at my mom's and he ended up hiring a moving company to deliver my things, but I'm still missing 4 boxes and it's been very stressful for me because I don't want to communicate with him, I had to tell him but all he said was, I'll send it all when I get a chance. This was a month ago. I'm stuck in this room because I don't have a car and It's hard to find a job online without 3 yrs of recent experience. For the 6 yrs we were together he didn't want me to work. I've been isolated for so long, I know I need to find a Church and a Bible study so I can meet other Christians. I know this would help me. Just 5 months ago I changed my life and became a born-again Christian, I pray that one day I will meet a God-fearing man. I've made so many bad decisions in my life, but now I'm letting the Holy Spirit guide me. 🙏 💜
The wife I loved left the marriage over 30 years ago...I prayed and begged her not to leave but her mind was determined to divorce. I have been single ever since and her leaving made me a better person and closer to God. "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers". Happy ,single, and planning on staying that way.
@Krystal My pray for God to help you become a godly wife and teach you how to be a wife in his eyes. He will sanctify you and prepare you. It's one thing to pray for a husband, it's another to pray to become a wife. God bless.
Same here. My wife started an affair in our 10th year of our marriage. Got divorced. Despise being divorced. Had a difficult year afterwards and only made it through with God by my side. The harder life became the more I prayed. In this time I realized God is always right by your side, holding your right hand. Showed me how to forgive which is really not easy to achieve but so worth it. I learned to listen to God and to see that He always looks after his children, even when we do not understand. 🙏🙏
I teared as I watched your video. Last year, especially, was a season where I keep getting into situationships and it made me feel extremely unworthy to be loved by anyone. All my friends around me are already happily married and with kids. I am always the solo person in a midst of married couples, I am always alone while everyone else seems to be having fun with their partners. And I kept asking myself what was so wrong with me. It put me into mild depression for a good period of time last year. And today again I felt a spirit of deep loneliness overcome me and drag my spirits down again, pulling me away from the present. But seeing your video felt like God made me come across it to tell me He is still with me and for me to be reminded to put Him first. Pls pray for me.
May the lord bless you with the person he chose for you at his perfect time remember the story of servant who searched for a wife for Issac a good Bible story keep the faith God bless I understand I'm going thru my loneliness also
I have felt the same way about the way you do that it seemed everyone else were married and happy but I always thought, why would anyone want to be with a guy like me anyway. But in loneliness, God gets you prepared and repaired from a unhealthy relationship and preparing you for a better one. But only to his will for your life, and in his timing
@@jeffmcmann2145 Thank you Jeff for your kind words. Just to also share an update that in my deep loneliness I sought God, which brought me to a worship session where He spoke through others that He IS with me - personally. People I didn't know from that session came to me and asked to pray with me, and spoke words that they could not have known on what I was going through. I can't imagine the love I felt from God's personal reminder. He is a good good Father indeed. While I now still look forward to marriage, emotionally I feel set free from this longstanding 'idol' of mine, looking at marriage and companionship now in a healthier way and continuing to affix my eyes on His goodness. :)
Good stuff. Thank you. But it still sucks to be inexplicably rejected by fam and friends and thrown in the ditch. It's good to know others are going thru this. My heart goes out to all of you. ❤
I can say with certainty that this long season of solitude has been a blessing beyond words. The waiting room has been a time of great refinement. Reflection and introspection. The Lord has been so kind and merciful to me even in the lowest of times. These were actually gifts I now cherish and share with others on their journey. I know that now the Fruits of the Spirit will burst forth and bless many. Be Blessed. Always.
Thank you brother I was just praying asking God about why am I still single. This has answered it. I will stop relying on wanting a relationship to fill me and look towards the Lord.
You only need him. Everything will perish, accept no matter what, he's always there and is with you. Imagine talking too him, him being very close too you. It's priceless and very rare in trillions.
A few years ago, I decided to totally give this area over to God, and everything you've said is true. I've been alone but not lonely. I'm glad I did because I now feel prepared for a relationship. I wish I'd made this decision years ago.
Since early June of last year, I have been living alone, but not by my choice. In August of last year, I have been separated from the church I had been attending. I am more alone in my 71 years than I have ever been. I have been tempted to sin in many ways. I am learning where I am weak and am praying for the strength and will to oppose temptation. I now think God is preparing me for some work that I would never have considered.
I love that I stumbled upon this video. I have been single for years upon years and questioning why am I alone. Why do I seem invisible? When will I find someone? This gives me some insight into why I could be could be alone.❤
I’ve always been okay with being alone but these last 10 years I started thinking that if I was meant for a healthy relationship right now it would happen. The more I pray the more he’s showing me that’s he’s molding and guiding me into what I’ll be fully ready for that next big step in life. I’m only 32 and feel like he’s about to open some beautiful doors in my life
Thank you for this message God have been really good to me all the years I've been single I feel like I'm done with seeking any relationships I am not a very spiritual person but thanking the Lord for all the peace, guidance and protection even by just speaking to him in silence🥰
Been Lonely for almost all of my Life through my teenage years I'm now in my twenties and never have been in a relationship but because I've done so much things when I was young like having sexual relationship with people and I've been connected to many people from the past relationship but never been in a relationship with anyone never had a girlfriend but I always knew that God is teaching a lesson before sending you someone and I'm free of that bondages now that I'm not ashamed to talk about them where in some point of my life I've covered my sins and lives with them in silence but I thank God that he showed me a way out even though it was a long wait but eventually it did happen and I pray and ask the Lord keeps everyone safe in his security and help us to trust in him about our life somebody somewhere out there is struggling with anxiety and depression form being alone but God is near just always remember speak to God first before you worry about anything may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all🙏🙏🙏
I needed this time alone to reset while going through a divorce. I actually found that I was becoming overwhelmed by too much interaction because of the drain of going through a divorce. I get anxiety when people start trying to come by and even question their intentions because of everything I went through in the marriage and finding out the person I was supposed to be closest to wasn’t even who I thought he was and was using me and trying to take me down. Now I’m learning and remembering some basics of who I am, remembering things I like to do, etc. So when I am ready to socialize more I’ll be able to enjoy it.
Amen so true 🙏🙌❣️🥺 this touch my heart because I am alone but I know Jesus Christ will never leave me nor forsake me he loves us so much he reminds us why we need him most during these alone times🙏🙌❣️🥺trust in God forever wholesomely
Been isolated for over 2.5 years. I hate it but I also understand it. My growth towards God has been exponential. I've also noticed that people were my god. I'd rely on them more than God. If I was feeling down or anxious I would surround surround myself with people so I didn't actually have to learn to deal with my problems, I could instead distract myself. Isolation is causing me to rely in God more so that I can actually grow in love towards Him, and grow in my weaknesses. But man, as an extreme extrovert...it is a painful experience. Great video as always, Mark.
22 years old and I’ve never experienced a girlfriend or even an intimate hug or holding of the hand. I have always felt lonely and afraid of the girls that I was attracted too. There are a lot of key moments in growing up and becoming a confident individual that I never experienced in my childhood. One of them being having a girlfriend, another being never getting into a typical schoolyard fight at school. Everything has just been empty words, until I recently started to grow in the faith. I have spiritually matured tremendously in my years after high school. Please pray for me that I will find a pretty wife someday who loves the lord. Just a side note. Please know that I am no longer a loud mouth prideful idiot who goes around looking for a fight all the time with his chest puffed out. I have been humbled by the lord and I no longer behave that way. All I’m trying to say up above is there are certain milestones that I feel every boy must go through in order to become a man. I feel like the experience of a fight and knowing how to defend yourself in a little hand to hand combat is one, while a kiss from a beautiful girl is another. Aside from that the most important part of growing up is when you realize it’s not getting drunk or being the tough bad to the bone guy that makes you cool. What’s important is having a solid relationship with God and knowing your place. I love and fear God and respect his authority over the Earth and the way I live my life. Please pray for other young adult or teenage boys out there who like me feel pressured by society like they have to be “cool” by getting drunk, smoking and chewing tobacco and all the other dumb things people today tell us is cool. The most important part of my message is I LOVE JESUS and JESUS LOVES ME. I no longer need all the other foolish junk in my life to be happy. God has taught me all of those foul things I talked about being “cool” only cause you pain. I am grateful for Gods mercy on me. I definitely do not deserve it. I have sinned beyond measure. But I seek to do better every day. I know deep down my pain of never having a relationship with a girl 22 going on 23 years of my life just might make marriage all that much sweeter in the end. Or perhaps I have been called to singleness. I do not know. But I trust God and I have confidence in him. Which ever way my path leads I will love God nonetheless. I just don’t trust myself or have any confidence in my own abilities. If you have read this message this far down and understand my thoughts and feelings please share your experience too.
You are beautiful! Keep on keeping on with our Lord. There is no need to rush anything at your age. Stay pure to Him and yourself. Holy Spirit dependence!!!! Please only God, Jesus and Holy Spirt - one day at a time. Each new morning is a new day to honor God, 1st and He will do amazing things in your life. God is Love. Without Him, we do not know obe iota of how to love. I'll be praying for you.
Thank you, this was timely! This year has felt so hard at times...I am away from my family in S E Asia for ministry and knew I needed a time of singleness. But I know spending time seeking and following the Lord is not wasted. And now I know what I value in relationships because I have greater understanding of His Word.
Thx Mark Point 9 and 10 is where i'm right know in my life, my time for singleness was 5 years but i'' ready know to start dating and find my wife. I have met an amazing girl a few months ago and applying the Word of God and your teachings to build a solid base for our relationships.
There is no greater Joy and Happiness then being in the presence of the Highest, to have His Presence around you. To be filled with His Grace. ✝️✝️✝️❤️✝️
I cherish my alone time with God. I have become much closer to him and continue to grow. This alone time allowed me to experience visions, audible voice, and miracles. I continue in my walk wanting the fullness of God's love and for it to over flow into others. Alone time allowed me to work on my fears ,worries, patience, anger, and so much more. God is so so good and faithful. Actually I'm not alone he is my roomate. Praise the Lord for this wonderful transformation I desperately needed in my life.
agreed Shannon.. I was actually lying in bed, feeling very uncomfortable about the season of loneliness and God directed me right to this video. Blessings to us both
Im fairly content being alone at 38. I am a free spirit, I do what I want and I go where I like. I have no responsibilities of children or marriage, just some bills to pay like everyone. It was hard at first losing old friends/flames from teenage years/20s and going to new places not knowing many people. I have a few music friends and my guitar to keep me focused on writing songs and just free flowing solos when I feel sad or lonely - what comes out is truly beautiful when its from the heart and soul. It is very liberating sometimes not having the pressure of constantly making another person happy, or having to trust them, but on the flip side as humans we all desire a partner to wake up to and be intimate with, thats natural and wonderful if its mutual and centred solely around love. I was rejected by someone I have feelings for a while ago. Maybe that was supposed to happen, who knows. You can't force someone to have feelings for you in return.
Thank you Mark. A timely word as we enter a new year and another one for me as a single woman. Praying that this could be the year I exit singleness but really needing GOD to help me be happy and patient while I'm here. It will happen in HIS appointed time. Happy 2023 to you and yours and to everyone everywhere! In JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN.
Wisdom! Yes! Thank you. My husband of seven years went home to the Lord six months ago after five year journey with cancer. In this season I am healing. Needed to hear this today as I badly want companionship. Holy Spirit is always on time in His loving leading for my life. Thank you for this teaching. 🙏
I use to be addicted to many worldly pleasures when I was in a relationship, but since God ended that relationship I was able to see into myself the root causes of my depression and sinful nature. I have never been this close to God being single and alone. Its hard to be alone, but I know God did it to help me and my relationship with him grow strong so the next relationship I have can be real love from God which I learned being alone and in solitude with him.
It's been 6 years, going on 7, for me. It's tough but I trust that thatas expressed in Jeremiah, God's plans are to give me hope and a future. To all those in the struggle, know that you are not alone. And thank you very much for creating this video. It sustains the hope of people like me :)
Just left nursing school and I just did not feel the joy that I had originally thought would be there. I've been relearning the importance of trusting in God and being patient because I am well aware that He is faithful. It was just yesterday that I said that Obviously I'm being prepared for something greater but I need to build in faith. Once again God is using you to talk to me, thank you.
@@mettlesomeknight9018 Awww, I pray it works out and if it gets tough you can always find your way back to this comment as a way of remembering how aspired you were. ❤️
Right time to post the video, decided to give up on love this year and giving it to God. Last year was disappointing and maybe there's a reason for it. God bless🙏
I've been alone and alot of failed attempts to make friends, I never realized it till now but God didn't want me to be around people because he had something greater in store for me🔥 whatever happens in life I trust in god that I will conquer all challenges in life.
Apparently God wants me to be single my whole life. I don't fall in love easily, but when I do, I always fall in love with the wrong man, although it's always wonderful at first and I eventually figure that this time I found the one. Then it takes me a long time to process a breakup, and so year and year goes by... He is omnipotent, it would be so easy for Him to let me meet the right man, but that seems like too much to ask for. At almost 43, my dream of marriage and having a child is over, it hurts like hell and to be honest I don't know what I'm on the world for if this is supposed to be my life...
I am 42 & having a baby alone. I relate a lot to your message about not falling often but when I do i Fall Hard. Then I am let down. I’ve decided to take control of my life & have a baby alone. I’ve prayed about it, I’ve put in years of work through covid lockdowns & im in a place where having a baby is paramount to my life. God bless you!
My god I feel the same way! I have been single for eighteen years! Everyone I choose to Date is it being fake, I am fifty eight and I would love to find someone that's honest, I would love to talk to you and share some more
Thank you for reminding me that God loves me more than anyone. I almost slipped away from Him the moment my ex boyfriend left me. 😢 It was number 5 that made me almost leave God. I know God wants to teach me lessons. Thank you, Jesus, for sending people around me that truly care and love me.. I pray for everyone's peace of mind.
I have been jumping into relationships without even having time to think about what do I want...I feel like God is guiding me to be alone and I have been ignoring and now I have taken the step of slowing down so that I can get to hear God clearly in that way I'll have peace❤😢
I've been alone 12 yrs now. I have fallen so deeply in n love with Jesus that I'm soooo ok alone. He is healing my broken heart from a totally devistating marriage of 25 yrs . I absolutely REFUSE to be without Jesus,!!!!!
I'm been alone for 15 years and I know he's preparing me for whatever he decides to blessed me with I trust God and I been getting close to God day by day by being alone my husband passed away 16 years so I'm widow so pray for me 🙏
I am divorced for many years and Jesus Christ is my strength Jesus Christ is my strong source of faith and my only true love. If I didn't have my faith I will not be here. Don't give up. Keep seeking the Lord Almighty. He will give you strength. Philippians 4*13 🙏🏼
During my breakup I was having trouble figuring out how I would get out of it better or whole on the other side. I was engaged and my fiancé broke up with me after 3 years together in a text message. However, the hardship I went through drew me closer to God and I feel so much more confident and healthy now than I ever had with her. I'm still struggling a little but taking it day by day; I've found putting my faith into God helps immensely

Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit by making this video. It truly resonated with the season I am currently in! My heart is filled with joy and hope as I listen to the 10 points. Be Blessed!
Your alone because there are no distractions between you and God. The moment one puts God first and only, then God will bless you. But you may be a perfect candidate to get God's work done. You are important to God, never forget that. God's timing is always right. Better to meet the right person, than to have the wrong person in your life. God knows your heart the best.
Can relate to this video a lot been hiding for 3 years every since I graduated high school lost a lot of friends and family. Currently still going through this but I’m sure all of this is going to work out for my good 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
This was a wonderful video. I feel that God has a man for me that is close by but he is preparing both of us to appreciate each other and together keep God at the center and spread the word of Jesus =) I feel it.
Whatever is in the heavens and on earth,- let it declare the Praises and Glory of God: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: It is He Who gives Life and Death; and He has Power over all things. He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and is moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all affairs are referred back to God. He merges Night into Day, and He merges Day into Night; and He has full knowledge of the secrets of (all) hearts.
I love you’re channel, it helps me so much , I can’t thank u enough for you’re amazing videos, keep up the great work..and who ever reads this make today great,
I've been alone for nearly 10 years now, and at times it hurts so badly (It even made me have a mental breakdown at one point) While I am more devoted to God and Jesus than ever before, there are still times where the depression is soul crushing for me.
Honestly this is some pretty impeccable timing. I’ve been struggling a lot lately on this, I felt (and still feel a little) desperate to be in a relationship, but also had my heart broken a few times and even had to end a relationship that was displeasing to the Lord Almighty. It always hurts to be lonely, but we’re never alone when we have God the King in our lives everyday and He watches over all of us. Praise be to the Lord Almighty in Christ Jesus’ name, and thank you for sharing brother. God bless you.
Wow. Perfect timing. I was literally processing through God’s faithfulness from last year despite the challenges and was noticing that He was separating me. This video showed up on my UA-cam homepage, and while watching I realized that it was an affirmation of what God has been doing in my life. Even in what looks like a mess, we gotta speak to our spirits to prophesy the promises we have through Jesus’s blood. Thank you for being faithful to post this. 🙏🏻🙂
I’ve been struggling finding a life partner and knew there was something (God) preventing it. I’ve also been dealing with a lot of other fears. This video has answered my questions in this area! 🙌🏻 Thank you!
2006 divorced. A tumultuous marriage and divorced. My ex had bi-polar, ADD, and dyslexia. He drank. I was with a wonderful Christian therapist. I respect him so much. Sent from God above. I was with a Christian counselor. $40,000…5 years with my family. Back to college. By Gods grace I graduated with the highest honors. All praise to God!! God has been faithful! Hard…unbelievable hard and painful. My ex divided my daughter and I and all my family. It’s taken me years recover and heal. I pray for complete restoration with my only daughter. She is 35 now. He divided us and she made poor choices. She is in therapy now. His help her! I pray for a real, honest, and loving relationship with a Godly man. I do not want to be alone anymore. 65 now. Healthy. I welcome a loving relationship, if and when Gods will!! A HEALTHY relationship…valued, appreciated, and loved…beyond anything I have ever dreamed. Help me to know Lord…he is the right man for me. I have been faithful…WAITING for the right man to share this life with. In Jesus name!! Amen 🙏❤️🙏❤️😇💕💕🎉
Absolutely love and appreciate this message! Am really content in my state of being alone. I love what God is doing in my life and in my heart. Am truly grateful for this time. It isn’t always easy or fun but it’s definitely necessary ❤ 🙏🏾
I'm finally getting to the place that it's okay to be alone and be happy, know myself better and be close to God. Sure, I'd love a husband someday but its okay if God says no.
I find loneliness to be a curse because of my sin. Sin, shame, loneliness, guilt. I don’t see any of these points for what I’m going through personally. I feel rejected by God. And I feel as though if there is a window to come out of this that it’s going to be a very tough window to go through, like a ring of fire. Whenever I have confidence in the Lord and Joy and Peace, it’s shot down to the ground. I don’t even have courage to make the first move. I have dishonored my family by bringing in falsehood but it wasn’t my intention, what happened was I saw the times were drawing near and I was grasping any teaching I could in order to understand the symbolism in the Bible, yet I didn’t realize I held on to the teaching of Jewish law, now I have dishonored my family and the shame is so deep that I continue to dishonor by driving my own parents away as I sit in my own destruction. All I ever wanted is to profusely learn about God, I was running to him, then I got caught in a thornbush and now my brother and sister and family all have shown their hate for me. And then after this I caught my husband lusting after someone else. I’m completely shattered. I’m at the point where I’m a people hater and even though I still read and pray and ask for forgiveness and I confess my sins for being a people hater I still haven’t really had peace. So then I turned to drugs. And my sister in law died, and I don’t even have the energy to get out of bed or go to the store or to gather all the idols in my house to get rid off. I’m swimming in iniquity right now. I hate my life. Marriage is a curse for me. And I believe we have less than 10 years before his second coming and although I tried to run the race, I failed. I am getting back up again tho and I’ve quit drugs and I’m fasting and praying….but still my hope is like a dying heartbeat.
Thank you Mark. Happily married for 42 years, my wonderful husband supported me when after ten years I came to faith, he didnt understand the change in me( I became a different person from the woman he married!). Sadly he died seven years ago. During my early days of becoming a Christian life was packed with ' Christian activities ' Now all these years later Im 70, I am alone with God. Gone are church type things and the people I knew. I have entered into a season of oneness with My Saviour. I found your video encouraging bless you. X.
I had a lot of deep abandonment wounds. I have had to do a lot of hard work to get rooted in Christ. I feel angry and hurt that I have to keep learning theses hard truths.
I was single for 13 years raising my sons alone. Not a single soul approached me to show interest. That broke my heart and hurt me so much. I never understood WHY he would do such a thing to me.
God is never the problem. There are other reasons for singleness and sometimes it's just not the right time. But again, not a good idea to blame God for this as we humans are all flawed
@@miahmiah4841 who said anything about “need”. It was a desire He put in my heart. I don’t need to hear the “you don’t need anyone but God” schpeel. That goes without saying.
@@laurasainz4836 amen!!! When people don't walk the path, they tell us, oh!!! You have God, we do but the heart breaks in a million pieces. I'm here 14yrs waiting... it hurts when people say why does a beautiful woman like you are single?!?!... I feel your hurt😥😥
I'm 29y.o and I never in relationship. Been missing someone so badly, but still in searching. Sometimes I feel like the lonliest girl in the world, but I believe in God's timing. I'll keep optimistic, pray for me!
❤❤❤ in hospital with lung issues God's been showing me hearts for 2 1/2 yes now after my mate passed 56 ys of marriage that was hugely dysfunctional. Marriage is not the answer. Chasing the hound of Heaven instead of him always pursing me is the answer and filling my role as the Bride of Christ!
Don't give in to despair. You're supposed to get to know your truest self. Once you do you will understand. And the path to wisdom is through understanding.
Amen, I've been single since October of 2022 and I have a personal relationship with my creator that I would not have if I was still in the relationship I was in. ❤ All glory to him
Feel like I’ve been alone for many years. Every time I try to join a community or start dating, god closes the door. I don’t know what else he wants for me and I don’t know how to enjoy life being alone.
I have been alone now for 8 years. I despair every day. I am so lonely. I'm holding on to God, even though He seems very far away. Please pray for me.
I cant imagine how sad you may feel at times.. I know loneliness doesn't feel good, but I ask you to hold tight just a little while longer. Speak to God today, get on your knees today and pray to God what you are feeling, God Cares,,.. he does,, Sometimes. we just dont know what is the delay.. but just know its not in vain that their is goodness that comes out of this for you
Read your Bible for 2 - 3 hours a day and listen to upbeat Christian music for most of the day (I enjoy Riley Clemmons myself).
Music has a way of filling your heart with joy - and when you come across a song which gives you joy and strength, put it on repeat until you can move on gracefully to the next song. I have listened to songs thousands of times on repeat and it fills me with joy, then you share your smile with the world
Reading fills your spirit and soul, and if you are feeling adventurous go into some debates to test your knowledge of Jesus.
@@returningtoperfection thank you for writing to me. I have been listening to you you tube videos on different bible passages. I need to read my bible more, yes. I find it hard sometimes to read it alone.
I have volunteered at my church to be a children's leader one day a week. I'm trying not to think about my own pain and instead just love others. Thank you for the love you've shown me. X
Maybe you can find a way to do some volunteer work (I don't know your age or circumstance), even if it is just for a day or two a week--perhaps get involved in a church or and help with activities, this might be a way to meet people. Maybe a free group in your community or online would be good as well. I can relate to the being alone though, I have spent more time alone over the past 3 years than I've ever spent in my life. For me, it has also been financially tough, so I have spent a lot of time with God. 🙏🏾✝️😇
I love you, you’re special and you’re not alone, many people are going the the same thing. It takes time and effort, don’t give up
1. To teach you what your heart needs most.
2. To teach you that you are never abandoned if you remain with God.
3. To teach you how to pray.
4. To give you time to reflect on relationship mistakes.
5. To help you lose your fear of man and find your fear of God.
6. To help you trust solely in God.
7. To help you realize the value of relationships.
8. To help you minister to others.
9. To prepare the soil for love to grow.
10. To prepare you for building a family with another person.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome and amen gods good
So so true... this is awesome 👌
Thanku ur notes is very helpful appreciate..........🙏🏽
Thx so much! Lord bless you ❤️
Lonely for about 3 years and through this season I have been through pain, anxieties, worries and hardships but I am grateful for all that I experience, it was through pain that I gained, Godly sorrow. I have felt God heal my heart. I have accomplished certain life goals. Without God, I would have never made it this far. Praise the Lord! He can do it for anyone🙏
Amen, thank you for sharing this!

I am someone who does not like to be alone and going through anxiety, loneliness or anything but I am starting to understand after watching this message. Thank you for sharing, it helped me. God bless abundantly 🙌👑
I am alone but not lonely. The warmth of god keeps me.
I’m doing alone…
but I CAN only do alone because I’m doing it with HE who never leaves or forsakes me (Heb 13:5,6)
Amen!
😊💕
If you go around saying "He never forsakes me" sounds like he often forsakes you. And you can't say "with He". Just being pedantic.
Amen!❤ PRAISE be to God
Amen 🎉
Since my divorce, I've been living on my own for 15 years! Loneliness and supporting myself has been a struggle, but my faith and relationship with the Lord has grown in leaps and bounds! I'm living proof that the Lord takes good care of His own. I would never had made it this far without Him.
I understand completely....I too am divorced for 13years now, and have come to learn and depend on God. I have totally surrendered myself, and if it's in his will, he will show me how beautiful a healthy relationship can be! They will be done!
Ugh these comments are so disheartening. So long. I don't wanna wait that long. I told God if he's going to make me wait until I'm old and decrepit then to just let me die young.
@@amandabanks173 LOL I prayed that same prayer repeatedly in 2009 and 2010! Guess what - the only way out of the dark valley is going through it. "But take heart, I have overcome the world! "If God is for you, who can be against you?" "I know the plans I have for you - to prosper you, not to harm you." ...Memorize and Declare God's promises every morning before you start your day, and watch what He will do!
@@Alexandra-ek6bb thank you for that ❤️🙏
If we can making it alone so nothing can't stop us, God is with us.
Keep having faith in God, take care of yourself in every single part of your life 💫✨
Every human being needs to have someone special in their life. They need that human being to laugh with, cry with, talk with, enjoy, resolve and receive physical touch. I have been alone for close to 20 yrs. My depression has been my blanket. I believe in God but I don't believe it is good for a person to go through life physically alone. There's a lot of suffering with being alone and feeling lonely.
Spot on
Praying for you to receive a companion to go through life with
@@Keonahawk24 Thank you so much.
Pray for you🙏🏻✨
Totally agree with you. Many people are alone and become mentally ill. Being alone is challenging. If God wants people alone why did he give Adam Eve?
I Pray for all that have been cheated on, abandoned etc, God will heal us all if he didn’t do so already, be safe y’all❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
What if she doesn't let me leave her. ... I'm so confused... Love is not here anymore... I feel bad abandon her. She has no one else. ... .I don't want to get reattached to her. She'll end up hurting me again.
I have been alone for more than 17 years but I was never lonely. It's been the best years of my life and wouldn't want it to change. GOD has been with me all these times and that's good enough for me.
👏👏👏
I am single, un married, at the age of 23 I lost my father, then 27 th I lost my mother. My only hope is lord Jesus. . I ve lot of ailments in my body in this age. More than 35 years I am alone.
Good on u!!! I'm still struggling to be in a place of contentment but reading ur comment is inspiring 😊 where I want to be. Never married and have been single of 11 years. I'm turning 32 this year and it's been a season of isolation, testing and hardship. But I know God is working 💪
I totally understand. I also have been alone for 8 years. It is very difficult, but this season has also drew me closer to God. I learned much more about His Word (Scripture), my studies have been deeper and untainted, my relationship with Him grew more, I received His counsel on what/who to keep or remove in my life, etc. Although this is the hardest time of my life, I am also thankful for it. I would have never grown more without it. I encourage you to continue to draw closer to God and He will guide you through this season and prepare you for the next one. Seasons always change. It’s not permanent. Hang in there! God bless!!
It's so hard to believe this
My long season of solitude has been going on for 9 years now. And while I do get lonely at times, and wished I had a man to help shoulder me in tough times, I know I am alone for a reason. I was always in bad relationships with men who only used me. And I despised myself. Now, I have grown to love myself, love God, and love my solitude. I know that when the time is right, He will put a man in my path for me. But for now, I go it alone, with God by my side.
Amen!!!! Exactly this❤
I feel the same way you do. Bad relationships but I am good person. I feel God wants us to be patient and respect yourself and not used.
I had never seen a bible, at 34 I said out loud, if there is a God why am I alone. I heard a voice say you belong to me now. I actually looked around for someone but nobody was there.
I left my ex-boyfriend going on 8 months now. I don't feel alone because I pray and read scripture and I know I need time for recovery from a very brutal mentally abusive relationship I was in. I see this time alone as spiritual awareness and healing. My ex didn't want anything to do with God and I knew I couldn't stay with him. I had to move in with my mother, which I'm not proud of but he had me move to another state and changed his mind after I had packed up everything I owned, twice he did this to me.
So, now I'm at my mom's and he ended up hiring a moving company to deliver my things, but I'm still missing 4 boxes and it's been very stressful for me because I don't want to communicate with him, I had to tell him but all he said was, I'll send it all when I get a chance. This was a month ago. I'm stuck in this room because I don't have a car and It's hard to find a job online without 3 yrs of recent experience. For the 6 yrs we were together he didn't want me to work. I've been isolated for so long, I know I need to find a Church and a Bible study so I can meet other Christians. I know this would help me. Just 5 months ago I changed my life and became a born-again Christian, I pray that one day I will meet a God-fearing man. I've made so many bad decisions in my life, but now I'm letting the Holy Spirit guide me. 🙏 💜
Been a widow for past 10 years. Alone with God feel comfortable. Until God bring better people in my life. Bless everyone who in this chat ❤
The wife I loved left the marriage over 30 years ago...I prayed and begged her not to leave but her mind was determined to divorce. I have been single ever since and her leaving made me a better person and closer to God. "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers".
Happy ,single, and planning on staying that way.
@Krystal My pray for God to help you become a godly wife and teach you how to be a wife in his eyes. He will sanctify you and prepare you. It's one thing to pray for a husband, it's another to pray to become a wife. God bless.
Same here. My wife started an affair in our 10th year of our marriage. Got divorced. Despise being divorced. Had a difficult year afterwards and only made it through with God by my side. The harder life became the more I prayed. In this time I realized God is always right by your side, holding your right hand. Showed me how to forgive which is really not easy to achieve but so worth it. I learned to listen to God and to see that He always looks after his children, even when we do not understand. 🙏🙏
@@christoveldsman349was she christian?
I teared as I watched your video. Last year, especially, was a season where I keep getting into situationships and it made me feel extremely unworthy to be loved by anyone. All my friends around me are already happily married and with kids. I am always the solo person in a midst of married couples, I am always alone while everyone else seems to be having fun with their partners. And I kept asking myself what was so wrong with me. It put me into mild depression for a good period of time last year. And today again I felt a spirit of deep loneliness overcome me and drag my spirits down again, pulling me away from the present. But seeing your video felt like God made me come across it to tell me He is still with me and for me to be reminded to put Him first. Pls pray for me.
May the lord bless you with the person he chose for you at his perfect time remember the story of servant who searched for a wife for Issac a good Bible story keep the faith God bless I understand I'm going thru my loneliness also
I have felt the same way about the way you do that it seemed everyone else were married and happy but I always thought, why would anyone want to be with a guy like me anyway.
But in loneliness, God gets you prepared and repaired from a unhealthy relationship and preparing you for a better one.
But only to his will for your life, and in his timing
@@jeffmcmann2145 Thank you Jeff for your kind words. Just to also share an update that in my deep loneliness I sought God, which brought me to a worship session where He spoke through others that He IS with me - personally. People I didn't know from that session came to me and asked to pray with me, and spoke words that they could not have known on what I was going through. I can't imagine the love I felt from God's personal reminder. He is a good good Father indeed. While I now still look forward to marriage, emotionally I feel set free from this longstanding 'idol' of mine, looking at marriage and companionship now in a healthier way and continuing to affix my eyes on His goodness. :)
Good stuff. Thank you. But it still sucks to be inexplicably rejected by fam and friends and thrown in the ditch. It's good to know others are going thru this. My heart goes out to all of you. ❤
I can say with certainty that this long season of solitude has been a blessing beyond words. The waiting room has been a time of great refinement. Reflection and introspection. The Lord has been so kind and merciful to me even in the lowest of times. These were actually gifts I now cherish and share with others on their journey. I know that now the Fruits of the Spirit will burst forth and bless many. Be Blessed. Always.
God is good!
AMEN! I CONCUR! 🙏❤️ BLESSINGS! 😀
❤Amen❤
Amen 🙏
Thank you brother I was just praying asking God about why am I still single. This has answered it. I will stop relying on wanting a relationship to fill me and look towards the Lord.
Amen!
Am alone for 10 years God knows what God wants
God bless as you keep following the Lord!
Lol😆
Me too
You only need him. Everything will perish, accept no matter what, he's always there and is with you.
Imagine talking too him, him being very close too you. It's priceless and very rare in trillions.
Me too
A few years ago, I decided to totally give this area over to God, and everything you've said is true. I've been alone but not lonely. I'm glad I did because I now feel prepared for a relationship. I wish I'd made this decision years ago.
Amen Donna, thank you for sharing this!
Since early June of last year, I have been living alone, but not by my choice. In August of last year, I have been separated from the church I had been attending. I am more alone in my 71 years than I have ever been. I have been tempted to sin in many ways. I am learning where I am weak and am praying for the strength and will to oppose temptation. I now think God is preparing me for some work that I would never have considered.
I pray that you receive the strength you need to stay through this season. God bless you
I’m praying for you

Meditation Beauty his lord .
I love that I stumbled upon this video. I have been single for years upon years and questioning why am I alone. Why do I seem invisible? When will I find someone? This gives me some insight into why I could be could be alone.❤
Same here my friend
I’ve always been okay with being alone but these last 10 years I started thinking that if I was meant for a healthy relationship right now it would happen. The more I pray the more he’s showing me that’s he’s molding and guiding me into what I’ll be fully ready for that next big step in life. I’m only 32 and feel like he’s about to open some beautiful doors in my life
Thank you for this message
God have been really good to me all the years I've been single
I feel like I'm done with seeking any relationships
I am not a very spiritual person but thanking the Lord for all the peace, guidance and protection even by just speaking to him in silence🥰
God bless as you seek the Lord in his word!
Been Lonely for almost all of my Life through my teenage years I'm now in my twenties and never have been in a relationship but because I've done so much things when I was young like having sexual relationship with people and I've been connected to many people from the past relationship but never been in a relationship with anyone never had a girlfriend but I always knew that God is teaching a lesson before sending you someone and I'm free of that bondages now that I'm not ashamed to talk about them where in some point of my life I've covered my sins and lives with them in silence but I thank God that he showed me a way out even though it was a long wait but eventually it did happen and I pray and ask the Lord keeps everyone safe in his security and help us to trust in him about our life somebody somewhere out there is struggling with anxiety and depression form being alone but God is near just always remember speak to God first before you worry about anything may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all🙏🙏🙏
I needed this time alone to reset while going through a divorce. I actually found that I was becoming overwhelmed by too much interaction because of the drain of going through a divorce. I get anxiety when people start trying to come by and even question their intentions because of everything I went through in the marriage and finding out the person I was supposed to be closest to wasn’t even who I thought he was and was using me and trying to take me down. Now I’m learning and remembering some basics of who I am, remembering things I like to do, etc. So when I am ready to socialize more I’ll be able to enjoy it.
I am alone but yet not alonebas God is closer to me than ever. Praise be to God ✨🙏
Amen so true 🙏🙌❣️🥺 this touch my heart because I am alone but I know Jesus Christ will never leave me nor forsake me he loves us so much he reminds us why we need him most during these alone times🙏🙌❣️🥺trust in God forever wholesomely
Amen, God is good
I been alone for 12yr ,But I have Jesus, I Got Him and peace thank you Amen
Been isolated for over 2.5 years. I hate it but I also understand it. My growth towards God has been exponential. I've also noticed that people were my god. I'd rely on them more than God. If I was feeling down or anxious I would surround surround myself with people so I didn't actually have to learn to deal with my problems, I could instead distract myself. Isolation is causing me to rely in God more so that I can actually grow in love towards Him, and grow in my weaknesses. But man, as an extreme extrovert...it is a painful experience. Great video as always, Mark.
22 years old and I’ve never experienced a girlfriend or even an intimate hug or holding of the hand.
I have always felt lonely and afraid of the girls that I was attracted too. There are a lot of key moments in growing up and becoming a confident individual that I never experienced in my childhood. One of them being having a girlfriend, another being never getting into a typical schoolyard fight at school. Everything has just been empty words, until I recently started to grow in the faith. I have spiritually matured tremendously in my years after high school. Please pray for me that I will find a pretty wife someday who loves the lord.
Just a side note. Please know that I am no longer a loud mouth prideful idiot who goes around looking for a fight all the time with his chest puffed out. I have been humbled by the lord and I no longer behave that way. All I’m trying to say up above is there are certain milestones that I feel every boy must go through in order to become a man. I feel like the experience of a fight and knowing how to defend yourself in a little hand to hand combat is one, while a kiss from a beautiful girl is another.
Aside from that the most important part of growing up is when you realize it’s not getting drunk or being the tough bad to the bone guy that makes you cool. What’s important is having a solid relationship with God and knowing your place. I love and fear God and respect his authority over the Earth and the way I live my life.
Please pray for other young adult or teenage boys out there who like me feel pressured by society like they have to be “cool” by getting drunk, smoking and chewing tobacco and all the other dumb things people today tell us is cool.
The most important part of my message is I LOVE JESUS and JESUS LOVES ME. I no longer need all the other foolish junk in my life to be happy. God has taught me all of those foul things I talked about being “cool” only cause you pain.
I am grateful for Gods mercy on me.
I definitely do not deserve it.
I have sinned beyond measure. But I seek to do better every day.
I know deep down my pain of never having a relationship with a girl 22 going on 23 years of my life just might make marriage all that much sweeter in the end. Or perhaps I have been called to singleness. I do not know. But I trust God and I have confidence in him. Which ever way my path leads I will love God nonetheless. I just don’t trust myself or have any confidence in my own abilities.
If you have read this message this far down and understand my thoughts and feelings please share your experience too.
Awe, that was really beautiful.
You are beautiful! Keep on keeping on with our Lord. There is no need to rush anything at your age. Stay pure to Him and yourself. Holy Spirit dependence!!!! Please only God, Jesus and Holy Spirt - one day at a time. Each new morning is a new day to honor God, 1st and He will do amazing things in your life. God is Love. Without Him, we do not know obe iota of how to love. I'll be praying for you.
Thank you, this was timely! This year has felt so hard at times...I am away from my family in S E Asia for ministry and knew I needed a time of singleness. But I know spending time seeking and following the Lord is not wasted. And now I know what I value in relationships because I have greater understanding of His Word.
Amen Jess, God has a plan and purpose for everything
Thx Mark
Point 9 and 10 is where i'm right know in my life, my time for singleness was 5 years but i'' ready know to start dating and find my wife. I have met an amazing girl a few months ago and applying the Word of God and your teachings to build a solid base for our relationships.
So glad to hear that, God is good!
There is no greater Joy and Happiness then being in the presence of the Highest, to have His Presence around you. To be filled with His Grace.
✝️✝️✝️❤️✝️
I cherish my alone time with God. I have become much closer to him and continue to grow. This alone time allowed me to experience visions, audible voice, and miracles. I continue in my walk wanting the fullness of God's love and for it to over flow into others. Alone time allowed me to work on my fears ,worries, patience, anger, and so much more. God is so so good and faithful. Actually I'm not alone he is my roomate. Praise the Lord for this wonderful transformation I desperately needed in my life.
So timely!! Thank you Mark for reminding me that with God, I’m never truly alone!!!
Amen! God bless Shannon!
agreed Shannon.. I was actually lying in bed, feeling very uncomfortable about the season of loneliness and God directed me right to this video. Blessings to us both
Im fairly content being alone at 38. I am a free spirit, I do what I want and I go where I like. I have no responsibilities of children or marriage, just some bills to pay like everyone. It was hard at first losing old friends/flames from teenage years/20s and going to new places not knowing many people. I have a few music friends and my guitar to keep me focused on writing songs and just free flowing solos when I feel sad or lonely - what comes out is truly beautiful when its from the heart and soul. It is very liberating sometimes not having the pressure of constantly making another person happy, or having to trust them, but on the flip side as humans we all desire a partner to wake up to and be intimate with, thats natural and wonderful if its mutual and centred solely around love. I was rejected by someone I have feelings for a while ago. Maybe that was supposed to happen, who knows. You can't force someone to have feelings for you in return.
Thank you Mark.
A timely word as we enter a new year and another one for me as a single woman. Praying that this could be the year I exit singleness but really needing GOD to help me be happy and patient while I'm here.
It will happen in HIS appointed time.
Happy 2023 to you and yours and to everyone everywhere!
In JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN.
God is good!
thats right 13 years alone no friends no family but im ok with it god is with me. god always comes first i need nobody.
MARK YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾 Thank you brother 🙌🏾
So glad it was helpful! God is good!
I felt my loneliest attending church and realized I need a one on one relationship with God and he's fine with it.
Wisdom! Yes! Thank you. My husband of seven years went home to the Lord six months ago after five year journey with cancer. In this season I am healing. Needed to hear this today as I badly want companionship. Holy Spirit is always on time in His loving leading for my life. Thank you for this teaching. 🙏
God bless you, I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. keep following the Lord, he always has a plan
I use to be addicted to many worldly pleasures when I was in a relationship, but since God ended that relationship I was able to see into myself the root causes of my depression and sinful nature. I have never been this close to God being single and alone. Its hard to be alone, but I know God did it to help me and my relationship with him grow strong so the next relationship I have can be real love from God which I learned being alone and in solitude with him.
It's been 6 years, going on 7, for me. It's tough but I trust that thatas expressed in Jeremiah, God's plans are to give me hope and a future. To all those in the struggle, know that you are not alone. And thank you very much for creating this video. It sustains the hope of people like me :)
Just left nursing school and I just did not feel the joy that I had originally thought would be there. I've been relearning the importance of trusting in God and being patient because I am well aware that He is faithful. It was just yesterday that I said that Obviously I'm being prepared for something greater but I need to build in faith. Once again God is using you to talk to me, thank you.
That’s super awesome ! I’m looking into getting in nursing school to!
@@mettlesomeknight9018 Awww, I pray it works out and if it gets tough you can always find your way back to this comment as a way of remembering how aspired you were. ❤️
@@sasharnayoung3825Funny enough I am pursuing my PA instead now, feel like it works better for me ;)
God bless you brother Mark, your messages are always on time!!
Never late, never early, just on perfect time...
God is good!
Right time to post the video, decided to give up on love this year and giving it to God. Last year was disappointing and maybe there's a reason for it. God bless🙏
I wouldn't give up on anything, but refocusing on the Lord is certainly wise!
I've been alone and alot of failed attempts to make friends, I never realized it till now but God didn't want me to be around people because he had something greater in store for me🔥 whatever happens in life I trust in god that I will conquer all challenges in life.
Apparently God wants me to be single my whole life. I don't fall in love easily, but when I do, I always fall in love with the wrong man, although it's always wonderful at first and I eventually figure that this time I found the one. Then it takes me a long time to process a breakup, and so year and year goes by... He is omnipotent, it would be so easy for Him to let me meet the right man, but that seems like too much to ask for. At almost 43, my dream of marriage and having a child is over, it hurts like hell and to be honest I don't know what I'm on the world for if this is supposed to be my life...
I’m so sorry
I am 42 & having a baby alone. I relate a lot to your message about not falling often but when I do i Fall Hard. Then I am let down. I’ve decided to take control of my life & have a baby alone. I’ve prayed about it, I’ve put in years of work through covid lockdowns & im in a place where having a baby is paramount to my life. God bless you!
My god I feel the same way! I have been single for eighteen years! Everyone I choose to Date is it being fake, I am fifty eight and I would love to find someone that's honest, I would love to talk to you and share some more
Thank you for this. You don't understand how it helps me, and likely many others, fight the lies that loneliness brings.
8y of solitude... I've grown a lot.. and God showed me the woman I was meant to be 🙏
Spoke to my heart and made me cry a bit. Felt the Holy Spirit say “Embrace me first” Thank you brother Mark
Thank you for reminding me that God loves me more than anyone. I almost slipped away from Him the moment my ex boyfriend left me. 😢 It was number 5 that made me almost leave God. I know God wants to teach me lessons. Thank you, Jesus, for sending people around me that truly care and love me.. I pray for everyone's peace of mind.
💔❤️🙏🏾 I know the feeling
I can already tell this message is for me! I’ve been asking this question a lot lately. Thanks so much Mark! God is good!
Amen! God is good!
We are on the same page, but we need to ask patient from God 😊
@BibleBailey cont' trusting in don't get tired for you trust upon the Lord.May God bless n see you thro.
I love being alone! I also love spending quality time with my children and grandchildren. My alone time is pure bliss
I have been jumping into relationships without even having time to think about what do I want...I feel like God is guiding me to be alone and I have been ignoring and now I have taken the step of slowing down so that I can get to hear God clearly in that way I'll have peace❤😢
I've been alone 12 yrs now. I have fallen so deeply in n love with Jesus that I'm soooo ok alone. He is healing my broken heart from a totally devistating marriage of 25 yrs . I absolutely REFUSE to be without Jesus,!!!!!
A timely message, thank you sir!
Glad it was helpful!
I am supposed to be alone ! I will be ready when God sends my husband someday. It's no rush.
Thank you for this message. God really speaks through you when I need it the most.
I'm so glad the content has been useful! God is good!
🙏🏾
I'm been alone for 15 years and I know he's preparing me for whatever he decides to blessed me with I trust God and I been getting close to God day by day by being alone my husband passed away 16 years so I'm widow so pray for me 🙏
Hello, I'm going through this right now. I receive this message. Thank you!!!
God bless!
I am divorced for many years and Jesus Christ is my strength Jesus Christ is my strong source of faith and my only true love. If I didn't have my faith I will not be here. Don't give up. Keep seeking the Lord Almighty. He will give you strength. Philippians 4*13 🙏🏼
Once again God is using you to minister to me...thank you!
I'm so glad!
During my breakup I was having trouble figuring out how I would get out of it better or whole on the other side. I was engaged and my fiancé broke up with me after 3 years together in a text message. However, the hardship I went through drew me closer to God and I feel so much more confident and healthy now than I ever had with her. I'm still struggling a little but taking it day by day; I've found putting my faith into God helps immensely

Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit by making this video. It truly resonated with the season I am currently in! My heart is filled with joy and hope as I listen to the 10 points. Be Blessed!
Your alone because there are no distractions between you and God. The moment one puts God first and only, then God will bless you. But you may be a perfect candidate to get God's work done. You are important to God, never forget that. God's timing is always right. Better to meet the right person, than to have the wrong person in your life. God knows your heart the best.
Can relate to this video a lot been hiding for 3 years every since I graduated high school lost a lot of friends and family. Currently still going through this but I’m sure all of this is going to work out for my good 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
This was a wonderful video. I feel that God has a man for me that is close by but he is preparing both of us to appreciate each other and together keep God at the center and spread the word of Jesus =) I feel it.
❤Amen
Every point you mentioned here has happened to me. Im still single at 33yrs though.
God bless as you seek the Lord!
@@youngslick226 thank you. Im surprised as well
You only need him, God is sufficient.
Imagine talking to him, being close.
A dream miracle come true, very rare in trillions.
Whatever is in the heavens and on earth,- let it declare the Praises and Glory of God: for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: It is He Who gives Life and Death; and He has Power over all things.
He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things.
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and is moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do.
To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all affairs are referred back to God.
He merges Night into Day, and He merges Day into Night; and He has full knowledge of the secrets of (all) hearts.
@@miahmiah4841 God isn't all you need. Take off eery person from the earth accept you and let's see how long you last.
I love you’re channel, it helps me so much , I can’t thank u enough for you’re amazing videos, keep up the great work..and who ever reads this make today great,
I'm so blessed to hear this Tanya! All glory to God!
A timely awesome message and thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, God is good!
I've been alone for nearly 10 years now, and at times it hurts so badly (It even made me have a mental breakdown at one point) While I am more devoted to God and Jesus than ever before, there are still times where the depression is soul crushing for me.
I feel you Jack, hang in there.
Thank you for this wonderful message, I needed to hear this, God bless you.🙏🏽♥️
You are so welcome, God is good!
Honestly this is some pretty impeccable timing. I’ve been struggling a lot lately on this, I felt (and still feel a little) desperate to be in a relationship, but also had my heart broken a few times and even had to end a relationship that was displeasing to the Lord Almighty. It always hurts to be lonely, but we’re never alone when we have God the King in our lives everyday and He watches over all of us. Praise be to the Lord Almighty in Christ Jesus’ name, and thank you for sharing brother. God bless you.
I needed to hear this today! ❤️
So glad!
There is a difference between being alone and loneliness and being alone can very much be a conscious choice.
Mark, this is what I really needed to hear. I am sure God is speaking to me through you. Thank you very much for sharing.
I'm so glad it was helpful! God is good!
Wow. Perfect timing. I was literally processing through God’s faithfulness from last year despite the challenges and was noticing that He was separating me. This video showed up on my UA-cam homepage, and while watching I realized that it was an affirmation of what God has been doing in my life. Even in what looks like a mess, we gotta speak to our spirits to prophesy the promises we have through Jesus’s blood. Thank you for being faithful to post this. 🙏🏻🙂
I’ve been struggling finding a life partner and knew there was something (God) preventing it.
I’ve also been dealing with a lot of other fears.
This video has answered my questions in this area! 🙌🏻 Thank you!
Pray, the Holy Spirit will give you peace over all the fears.
2006 divorced. A tumultuous marriage and divorced. My ex had bi-polar, ADD, and dyslexia. He drank. I was with a wonderful Christian therapist. I respect him so much. Sent from God above.
I was with a Christian counselor. $40,000…5 years with my family.
Back to college. By Gods grace I graduated with the highest honors. All praise to God!!
God has been faithful!
Hard…unbelievable hard and painful. My ex divided my daughter and I and all my family.
It’s taken me years recover and heal.
I pray for complete restoration with my only daughter. She is 35 now. He divided us and she made poor choices. She is in therapy now. His help her!
I pray for a real, honest, and loving relationship with a Godly man.
I do not want to be alone anymore. 65 now. Healthy. I welcome a loving relationship, if and when Gods will!!
A HEALTHY relationship…valued, appreciated, and loved…beyond anything I have ever dreamed.
Help me to know Lord…he is the right man for me.
I have been faithful…WAITING for the right man to share this life with.
In Jesus name!!
Amen
🙏❤️🙏❤️😇💕💕🎉
Thank you for this powerful message..
I hope you all have blessed Day.
In Jesus Name I pray Amen
Alicia🕊🙏🏼😇🤍💗
God bless you too!
Absolutely love and appreciate this message! Am really content in my state of being alone. I love what God is doing in my life and in my heart. Am truly grateful for this time. It isn’t always easy or fun but it’s definitely necessary ❤ 🙏🏾
I'm finally getting to the place that it's okay to be alone and be happy, know myself better and be close to God. Sure, I'd love a husband someday but its okay if God says no.
This is a great perspective, being content in the Lord but open to a blessing
I find loneliness to be a curse because of my sin. Sin, shame, loneliness, guilt. I don’t see any of these points for what I’m going through personally. I feel rejected by God. And I feel as though if there is a window to come out of this that it’s going to be a very tough window to go through, like a ring of fire. Whenever I have confidence in the Lord and Joy and Peace, it’s shot down to the ground. I don’t even have courage to make the first move. I have dishonored my family by bringing in falsehood but it wasn’t my intention, what happened was I saw the times were drawing near and I was grasping any teaching I could in order to understand the symbolism in the Bible, yet I didn’t realize I held on to the teaching of Jewish law, now I have dishonored my family and the shame is so deep that I continue to dishonor by driving my own parents away as I sit in my own destruction. All I ever wanted is to profusely learn about God, I was running to him, then I got caught in a thornbush and now my brother and sister and family all have shown their hate for me. And then after this I caught my husband lusting after someone else. I’m completely shattered. I’m at the point where I’m a people hater and even though I still read and pray and ask for forgiveness and I confess my sins for being a people hater I still haven’t really had peace. So then I turned to drugs. And my sister in law died, and I don’t even have the energy to get out of bed or go to the store or to gather all the idols in my house to get rid off. I’m swimming in iniquity right now. I hate my life. Marriage is a curse for me. And I believe we have less than 10 years before his second coming and although I tried to run the race, I failed. I am getting back up again tho and I’ve quit drugs and I’m fasting and praying….but still my hope is like a dying heartbeat.
Just learned I’m praying now more and more
God bless Ivan!
Thank you Mark. Happily married for 42 years, my wonderful husband supported me when after ten years I came to faith, he didnt understand the change in me( I became a different person from the woman he married!). Sadly he died seven years ago. During my early days of becoming a Christian life was packed with ' Christian activities ' Now all these years later Im 70, I am alone with God. Gone are church type things and the people I knew. I have entered into a season of oneness with My Saviour. I found your video encouraging bless you. X.
This is so good, the Scriptures wow
So glad it was useful! God is good!
I had a lot of deep abandonment wounds. I have had to do a lot of hard work to get rooted in Christ. I feel angry and hurt that I have to keep learning theses hard truths.
I was single for 13 years raising my sons alone. Not a single soul approached me to show interest. That broke my heart and hurt me so much. I never understood WHY he would do such a thing to me.
You don't need no one accept God.
Imagine you being close, friends with him.
It's priceless.
God is never the problem. There are other reasons for singleness and sometimes it's just not the right time. But again, not a good idea to blame God for this as we humans are all flawed
@@miahmiah4841 who said anything about “need”. It was a desire He put in my heart. I don’t need to hear the “you don’t need anyone but God” schpeel. That goes without saying.
@@laurasainz4836 amen!!! When people don't walk the path, they tell us, oh!!! You have God, we do but the heart breaks in a million pieces.
I'm here 14yrs waiting... it hurts when people say why does a beautiful woman like you are single?!?!... I feel your hurt😥😥
@@laurasainz4836 exactly. Saying that is it helpful at all when you have real pain surrounding it. I understand what you’re saying completely.
I'm 29y.o and I never in relationship. Been missing someone so badly, but still in searching. Sometimes I feel like the lonliest girl in the world, but I believe in God's timing. I'll keep optimistic, pray for me!
ok mark are you stalking me lol great timing once again.
So glad it was timely Michael!
❤❤❤ in hospital with lung issues God's been showing me hearts for 2 1/2 yes now after my mate passed 56 ys of marriage that was hugely dysfunctional. Marriage is not the answer. Chasing the hound of Heaven instead of him always pursing me is the answer and filling my role as the Bride of Christ!
Wuw am no 5 today happy new year sir God bless you and your lovely family
God bless and Happy New Year to you as well :)
Don't give in to despair. You're supposed to get to know your truest self. Once you do you will understand. And the path to wisdom is through understanding.
I hate been alone for 3 years. He's taken everyone out of my life.
I have been alone for almost 31 years, My husband died last 1991 But despite of that I learn to cling to God because I know He is with us always!
I also have been alone for a very long time. I don't understand why?
Amen, I've been single since October of 2022 and I have a personal relationship with my creator that I would not have if I was still in the relationship I was in. ❤ All glory to him
This teaching was terrific and truth!!! Keep putting these videos online - great job.
Amen🙏🏽 a much needed message
So glad it was useful!
Feel like I’ve been alone for many years. Every time I try to join a community or start dating, god closes the door. I don’t know what else he wants for me and I don’t know how to enjoy life being alone.
