Loneliness can be a lifelong challenge or a short-term event. The length of the experience is often determined by how we deal with it. Turning to the Lord can help us find our way through the fog of isolation.
You can admit to lonely feelings. Being a Christian doesn't disqualify us from sometimes having a sense of seclusion. Many of David's Psalms speak of his longing for companionship. When we express our feelings to the Father and cry out for His touch, He will answer. I often tell God that I need Him to wrap His arms around me. His response is just as real as if a human being walked in and hugged me.
You should develop godly relationships. We should pray for friends who'll point us toward the Lord whether we're in good times or bad. These are the loved ones who see our faults and like us anyway. ( from In Touch devotional by Dr. Charles Stanley)
Thank you for your prayers. We made it to Branson yesterday and to the park we were to be parked, but things didn't work out and at that moment we felt all alone. What to do, where to go. LaVon called the park we were in last year and they had a spot so we pulled in there to a great reception. LaVon had asked me on the way to Oak Grove, if God was telling me anything? To my dismay, I said know. After we set up I went back to the office to make our plans and was received so graciously, I felt the Lord saying, "I am not through with you here" and all of a sudden I didn't feel alone anymore. So we are staying and working here at Oak Grove RV Park again this summer.
Keep us in your prayers, have agreat day, love you, pass it on,
Don
