Loneliness

Being lonely is NOT fun. We have all felt this way at times, but it is really just our outlook on the situation that differentiates "being lonely" and "being alone". As we go throughout the day, let's try and confront our loneliness and say "No, I refuse to act this way".  Just as we all need time with other people, we all need time to ourselves. I encourage you to embrace this loneliness and change your mindset to just "being by yourself" and enjoy this time of peace and quiet! 

Psalm 68:6 says, "God places the lonely in families."   (God's Word Translation)
Psalm 147:3 says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

If we turn and talk to God while we are lonely, He really helps us feel better about ourselves. Out of every single bad situation, try to find at least one positive thing. God is always with us, even when we feel depressed, distant, and lonely. If you start looking for Him, you WILL find Him.
