I Feel So Lonely

Do you ever feel like everyone has someone except you? While others spend time with someone special, maybe you feel lonely and left out. No boyfriend or girlfriend. Maybe your spouse doesn’t pay attention to you, or your loved ones live far away. You don’t have many friends, they’re too far away.

Do you think to yourself, “Will I be lonely forever?” or “Why am I always alone?” Maybe these feelings have been building for a long time and you’re thinking, “I feel so … lonely.”

Many people struggle with loneliness because they live by themselves or spend most of the day alone. Others are surrounded by people all day, yet feel the most lonely in crowds. In both cases, loneliness is caused by a lack of connection that comes through relationships.

We all want to love and be loved—and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, the ability to love comes from God Himself—a compassionate God who cares about you, knows your heart’s deep longing for love and can fulfill that desire. The Bible explains that God is love (1 John 4:16), and since He created you, God transfers that love to us. Put another way, “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19).

But what if there’s no one in your life to give or receive the kind of love you’re longing for? What if the person you thought was the perfect match to take away your loneliness isn’t so perfect after all?

Finding someone to meet all our needs is futile because no human can fully satisfy our desire for a meaningful connection. Our desire is for something deeper—something that reaches our very souls.

Only the depth of God’s love can fill that empty space in our hearts. We were created to be in relationship with Him, and without a relationship, we’re incomplete and, ultimately, we’re lonely.

God loves us, and He has given us the capacity to love Him back. But that part is up to you.

Are you ready to push your loneliness aside and experience the unconditional, unmatchable love of a perfect God who knows everything about you?

Start a lasting, fulfilling relationship with God today.

Step 1 – God’s Purpose: Peace and Life

God loves you and wants you to experience peace and eternal life—abundant and eternal.

The Bible says:

"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:1

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

"I [Jesus] came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10

Why don’t most people have this peace and abundant life that God planned for us to have?

Step 2 – The Problem: Sin Separates Us

God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and freedom of choice. We choose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God.

The Bible says:

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23

Our choice results in separation from God. People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God...

The Bible says:

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."
Proverbs 14:12

"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear."
Isaiah 59:2

No bridge reaches God... except one.

Step 3 – God’s Remedy: The Cross

Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.

The Bible says:

"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
1 Timothy 2:5

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God."
1 Peter 3:18

"But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8

God has provided the only way... Each person must make a choice...

Step 4 – Our Response: Receive Christ

We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation.

The Bible says:

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me."
Revelation 3:20

"But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God."
John 1:12

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?

Here is how you can receive Christ:

We suggest a prayer like this one:

"Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus' Name, amen."
