Loneliness, why....... ♪ Yuko_Too near yet so far..♪
~ The Angel Stood Alone ~
Alone, am I alone
Why do I feel so all alone,
Walking in a sea of woe
Yet no-one hears my sigh
Or the words my heart may know.
Am I alone as I ponder
Am I alone as I stare,
Behind the shadows
Do I vaguely observe
Giving up the care.
I didn't see the hand of God reach down
With protection all around,
I walked with eyes downcast, for there was no warm sunshine
To encompass me about.
And thus I trudged along, for there was no song,
Only a heavy feeling that everything was wrong,
Alone, yes all alone walking sadly in an empty sea,
No-one to hear my heart,
Or the cries that I may scream.
I couldn't feel the gentle touch of the angel sent with love,
I brushed aside the tenderness, the Father sent with softness from above.
Alone, am I standing all alone, as I ponder there,
All alone I stay and silently stare, within the shadows that I bear.
Softly I hear a whisper to gently open up the window of my heart,
And I begin to feel the tender breezes blow,
Heaven sent,
My eyes fill up with tears and overflow
As the morning light begins to creep into my soul.
Thank You Jesus, You came to die for me
Please fill my emptiness, with Your love
So I will be, nevermore alone.

~ Never More Alone ~
They say that I am special
Yet, can it be true that I am not alone,
Drifting forlorn in fathomlessness
Wandering on my own.
If in You, is found all that I have lost
Help me then to break through,
Help me find a way to trust Your heart
For I know deep down You're true.
But, how hard can that be to do
Just this once, please speak to me,
This one time in my lifetime
Break the chains and set me free.
Let me see You in the winter's night
Melt this emptiness in me,
Explode the moment of Your truth
Reveal to me Your dream.
I don't want You to be
Just 'in passing', a once in a lifetime
For tomorrow to find may not be
I need You now, to be forever mine.
Rainbow shine, Your colour know
All Your promises, my very own,
Please fill me with Yourself, dear Lord
So I will not feel, all alone.

Never more alone
And Jesus said unto him,
Arise, go your way: your faith has made you whole.
...Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Give us all a vision Lord
A sight to see beyond,
Past all the suffering and pain
To the path You walk upon.
Give us a sight to see beyond
To find the beauty of Your way,
The special miracle of Yourself
For the faith to face each day.
Give to us Your warmth dear Lord
In the darkness of the night,
Fill our hearts with all You are
So we can see Your light.
Give to us Your ears Lord
To hear above the empty shrill,
The whispering of Your gentle voice
The tolling of Your joyous bell.
Give us Your cooling touch of peace
As we face the searing heat,
Thirsting in dry barrenness
You are our desperate need.
Give us Your gentle hands dear Lord
That we may feel Your love,
So we may keep on caring
And know the battle's won.
Give to us Your strength each morning
To wake to walk Your way,
May we know Your mighty power
That lifts us up each day.
Lord, You're the one that we can trust
For our lonely hearts you bear,
You see within us, every one,
And keep us in Your care.

~ The Close Comfort ~
Deep in my heart today I wonder
If my friend is feeling blue,
So, I've been praying all the while
For God's strength to help you through.
And if you feel like sharing
Then do drop me a line,
For my love is here for you
Dearest friend of mine.
I can feel your pain and sorrow
For I understand your care,
Many tears have wet my pillow too
In life's trials we must bear.
But, I know that since you cannot
Feel close, the comfort of my love,
God will wrap His arms around you
His peace will come to you
And He will be enough.

Walking with a friend in the dark
is better than walking alone in the light.
--Helen Keller
It is safer to step out into the darkness with our hand in the hand of God
than to walk alone on an oft travelled way

We all feel it sometimes, and sometimes more than other times..
but can we benefit from loneliness...
Do we feel loneliness only because we are alone
or can we feel lonely when we are in a world of people....
Might loneliness then become a gift,
so that we have to search and cry out....,
bringing us to a desperation point - to find God
and ask Him to come reside in us,
so that we are never more alone.

We need to find God, and He cannot
be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence.
See how His creation - trees, flowers, grass-grows in silence; see His stars,
moon and sun, how they move in silence...
I know many of you find yourself at a place
where you feel alone and like no one is there for you.
God sees and He knows exactly where you are at.
I believe He allows us times where no one is around so we will only seek Him...
so we will draw closer to Him.
We do need the companionship of others, but we need the closeness of God more.
Embrace Him and this time alone with Him,
He will comfort you in ways no one else can.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will
certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired,
although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they
ask. Yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they
had dared to ask.
Martin Luther
Prayer is not asking for what you think you want,
but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine.

Check if you are lacking nutrient/vit B and Vit D,
sometimes ill-health, depression, fatigue etc, can be mistaken for loneliness
Change a few things, get better sleep, esp 2 hours bfore midnight,
eat healthy food, reduce fast foods, sugar etc
Begin a new hobby, walk or do gardening every day.
Develop new thoughts re problems, eg accept life as being a winding journey to grow.
Begin the habit of giving thanks - for it is energizing and mind changing.
