I'm in need of some help. I'm not messing around. About ready to end it all...please help me. thanks.Is there a passage in the Bible that will help me with my isolation and loneliness?
Proverbs 18:1 ';One isolating himself will seek his own selfish longing; against all practical wisdom he will break forth.'; Get out of the house, take a walk, be around people.
Heartfelt prayer will also help keep your mental balance, so that your affliction does not become completely overwhelming. The apostle Paul wrote: ';In everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God.'; Do you know how sincere prayer brings comfort? ';The peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.'; (Philippians 4:6, 7) The peace of God can stabilize us when we are burdened with distressing emotions. It will 'guard our hearts and our mental powers,' thus helping us to avoid reacting rashly and unwisely, which could add to our affliction.Is there a passage in the Bible that will help me with my isolation and loneliness?
This isn't exactly a Bible passage, but one thing that has helped me immensely, even in my doubting times, is the adage ';Let go and let God';. It's super cheesy, but you have to remember that God is in control. Relax your soul and mind and let God handle it when it seems too much for you. You will not always be lonely and isolated - given some time you'll look back and be amazed that you ever felt like giving up.
Have a cup of warm tea, play some beautiful (not depressing!) music, watch a funny movie, try finding some like minded people and chat online if there's no one you feel comfortable talking to in person at the moment. I'm sending you many prayers and light!! You'll feel better, no - AMAZING soon. Really. :)
Loneliness is worst then poverty. I moved from Philly to this God forsaken place I am at now with not a single person as a friend. Tried to make friends but no one seems to like me so I just read the bible and pray when I am not working. my husband fell me crying uncontrolled one time when he came home from work it is so hard with no one here most of the day.I only work PT no work here for me. Well good luck I will say a prayer for you.

Ps. 37:10, 11: “Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; and you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”
Ps. 27:10: “In case my own father and my own mother did leave me, even Jehovah himself would take me up.”
Isa. 25:8, 9: “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. . . . And in that day one will certainly say: ‘Look! This is our God. We have hoped in him, and he will save us. This is Jehovah. We have hoped in him. Let us be joyful and rejoice in the salvation by him.’”
The day of accounting with God will come. At that time he will punish the wicked, destroying them forever. Proverbs 2:21, 22 says: “The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.” Then the upright ones, many of whom have suffered adversity, will enjoy perfect health and a generous share of earth’s abundant produce
Phillipians 4:13For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me.
Isaiah 41:10-13. 10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.’
11 “Look! All those getting heated up against you will become ashamed and be humiliated. The men in a quarrel with you will become as nothing and will perish. 12 You will search for them, but you will not find them, those men in a struggle with you. They will become as something nonexistent and as nothing, those men at war with you. 13 For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, ‘Do not be afraid. I myself will help you.’
Psa 68:6 ';God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.';
there is something in the bible that says weep with those who weep so you should find a solid church to go to and let a couple people know for prayer and company.
I can only recommend Joyce Meyer Ministries which helped me the same. I was in loneliness and isolation for 26 years of my life. Now, I'm free.
I learned in the bible through Joyce Meyer explanation that this is a form of satan's deception. This is not true. When we became focus in our own selves: we experience self pity, fear, rejection, sadness, anger, unforgiveness. etc weourselvesalize it but oueselves is the center and not God, this is a form of idolatry. The more we focus to ourselves the more we are lonely.

psalm 25:
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.
pray to God, ask for help, get around people----
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.';
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ';Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.';
Isaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
God does not make junk. He loves you very very much. Please call out to him, he is listening. I hope you begin to feel better very soon.
I will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13:5
God loves you more than you know. dont let the devil decieve you; his only goal is to destroy your soul. Jesus says ' I have come that you may have life and life more abundantly.' trust God. let Him take away your pain. put your life in His hands and prove that His suffering and sacrifice for your redemption was not in vain. He left power and glory and drank the cup of suffering because of His love for you.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your care on him; for he cares for you.
Loneliness can be a very painful feeling . I myself battle feelings of loneliness and depression. It is very easy to isolate yourself from the world but really that is not the best thing for us because it only deepens loneliness. Take courage that you are not ALONE there are people who deeply care for you and know to some extent how you feel but the true God , the one who created you, the one who well knows the formation of you (Psalm 103:14) He knows exactly how you feel. 1 John 3:19,20 says that God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.
So he know's your troubles and groanings of your heart. He cares for you very deeply and he is the to provide help. Really , He is the best friend we could ever have. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 calls him the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation.
There are examples in the Bible of God's servants who also like you and I have battled with these feelings of being lonely . To them, Jehovah was a source of support and comfort. Take, for example, Jeremiah, who was called to be a prophet when a young man.
Among the 40 writers of the Scriptures, Jeremiah was perhaps the one who expressed the MOST about his personal feelings. He felt timid and inadequate when he received his first assignment from God. (Jeremiah 1:6) To carry it out, he had to rely fully on Jehovah. The Bible says Jehovah was with him “like a terrible mighty one.” (Jeremiah 1:18, 19; 20:11)
Also, there is another example in the Bible. Elijah. Some 300 years before Jeremiah, when Queen Jezebel heard of the death of her Baal prophets, she vowed to have Elijah put to death. Elijah fled some 285 miles to Horeb. There he entered a cave to spend the night, and Jehovah God put this question to him: “What is your business here, Elijah?” Elijah explained that he felt he was the sole worshiper of Jehovah in all Israel, the only prophet left who was zealous for God’s service. Jehovah assured him that he was not alone. Jehovah was with him, and 7,000 of Elijah’s fellow Israelites were also with him, although unknown to him. Jehovah comforted and soothed Elijah and built up his faith. He touched Elijah’s heart, encouraging the prophet not to give up in his assignment. (1 Kings 19:4, 9-12, 15-18)
The example of Elijah is so encouraging because it shows that when feeling lonely and worthless, we should pray to Jehovah the true God, for strength. From these two examples we can see how Jehovah willingly gave support and comfort to his servants.
Psalm 9:9 says Jehovah will become a secure height for anyone crushed, a secure height in times of distress.
Psalm 46:1 says Jehovah is source for refuge and strength. A help that is readily to be found during distresses.
Isaiah 41:10 Jehovahs says '; Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.';
Please, draw close to Jehovah in prayer. “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you.” (Psalm 55:22)
As long as there is life, there is hope. You are not alone. Jesus cares for you. If you ask He will comfort you. Read John 3:16;';For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.'; He knows what you need to lift you up. Please talk to Jesus. He will listen and He will help. I am praying for you.
Nehemiah 8:10 says '; Nehemiah said go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.'; (NIV)
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
