Loneliness could be devastating to your self-worth, it is a tool in the hands of the devil to make you slip into depression so you can do silly things, so you can be down, disconsolate. loneliness has made many to resort to filthy actions like masturbation, pornography, smoking, e.t.c
Here are the few things you can do, all of which are from my personal experience:
1. you have got to have friends, do not live like an hermit, do not live an isolated life, without friends, you'd just be like a cardboard cut-out. your friends may not be many but make sure you have few that does the right things and your friends should be those that won't lead you into doing wrong things.
2. when you feel lonely, just pick your phone and call friends and family (maybe 1 or 2 people),ask how they are doing and laugh with them, then you'd know you are not alone.
3. when you feel lonely, it may be due to fatigue. so relax, play games, chat with friends
4. you can also take your hymn book and sing whenever you feel lonely, you can listen to messages, music, watch videos and forget loneliness.
5. if the above recipe do not work, then pray the same prayer David prayed when he felt lonely. "Turn to me and be gracious to me for I am lonely and afflicted, the troubles of y heart have multiplied..." (Psalms 25:16-17). All you need is in God's word, meditate on the bible and look for the promises God has for you, He has granted you peace already (John 14:27) so tap into it and have peace of mind. you can evict your fears when you realize he cares for you.
Remember that loneliness is not the absence of people, it's the absence of purpose, it's not the absence of riches, it's the absence of direction. Today, find a purpose, a passion, a goal or a vision to pursue and it will be less likely to feel lonely. stay blessed, focused and happy 😃😃.
