I'm 79 and have been a widow for 29 yrs but because I have and love God I'm never alone...He is right here beside me in everything I do. So grateful for Jesus
@Virginia Robinson, I agree with you completely. I am 62. I became a widow 27 years ago, and raised our daughter on my own. But God was/is constantly with me, guiding and loving me…and my daughter. God had even named her Hannah….the Grace of God. Hallelujah for His faithfulness❣️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
I can relate to this. No friend No family. Just my Parrot and Father God for 2 years. Haven't been able to drive for 1 year cuz of an unknown medical problem with my eye causing balance problems. It has been beyond difficult, but I will not lose Hope...ever. I love you Lord!
"Father God, I pray for Jared wherever he is. You know him Father & where he is now. Come upon Jared in a way that he will know it is You. May Jared turn his heart & life over to You. Give Your PEACE to his family. In Jesus' name AMEN & AMEN"
I pray for divine blessings and provision over Jared! God can do All things! Lord, we believe You will move powerfully in this Dear man's life, Heavenly Father we Ask and receive in Jesus mighty name! Thank you Lord, Amen 🙏🙏
Prayers for peace…still not feeling Christmas either. We said goodbye to our travel trailer today after losing it and our home in the flood 4 weeks ago in Whatcom County Washington. We, like 1200 other homes, lost so much and are struggling. I miss my nativity set, seeing our beautiful tree, getting excited for the day we celebrate His birth. Prayers for peace for us and all my neighbors, that we may remember this special time of the year, no matter our circumstance.
Hello Lisa I am so sorry. My brother and sister in law lost their home in Everson in the flood. They are dealing with the clean up. I pray that God will give you the strength you need. I am struggling with loneliness 😞. 🇨🇦
Praying for you Lisa that God will restore back to you health and wealth sorry for your loss God have the plan for your life to prosper you and not harm you Amen
@@earleansmith8608 I can relate.. Did not have a stable home for the last 4 years...extreme trials, heartaches, great losses, friends who did not understand my situations and left me out in the cold...oh yea.. so called Christian friends... When you hit rock bottom, I found out that only JESES and Him alone got me through time and time again... Forgiving the people who callously threw me out of their homes...Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Ummm...sometimes I think they KNOW what they done to me. I know Satan, that old ancient serpent wants me to hate them..
Yes.. I THANK GOD that I am saved and delivered from Satan's grip and bought into the Kingdom of Christ...the true Light in this messed up, broken, sinful world..and hurting world..
Please pray that my 18yr old granddaughter Noelle who has been brought up in the church will hold to God...my daughter says she has got hard to read...she shows no emotions and is a senior in school...they are starting to have trouble with her... Thank you
Maybe she feels pressured to go to college or do something she’s not ready for. They need to let her know she is supported in her dreams or she will continue to stay closed up and distant. If they think she will fall, that’s okay. They need to let her try. Also, high school can be a scary place anymore, especially for girls.
Thank you for this message. I recently downsized to a condo in a 55 and older community, lost my only child, and experienced divorce. Never have I felt God’s presence more. He has blessed me with new friends and neighbors as we study God’s word together each week. It is no accident, it is beautiful to have a deeper relationship with God during loneliness and sorrow..
This made me cry. So beautiful. I have always had a great fear of abandonment which has made it impossible to accept love. I'm 59 and have been alone since my mid 30s. Generally I'm not lonely, I'm probably 80% content w/ my aloneness. But, we all have our moments. Jesus saying, "And lo, I am w/ you always, even to the end of the age" is one of my favorite verses in all of scripture. I absolutely love that Max talks about this, about how much we all like "with". True story. This is a beautiful mini sermon. Thanks.
Excellent as always, a much needed message to an oh so lonely world. Loneliness can be found in the hearts of anyone and has no boundaries. Jesus WILL help you through your lonely days. Please let Him❤️
Thank you Pastor Max. You have helped me. Your words always lift my heart. Please pray for my daughters and their children who need God so desperately right now. Thank you.
Please pray for Tony my husband who keeps going to concerts with drinking and smoking. Please pray for his Salvation. Please pray God will move this Saturday or before this concert. Bless all of you! Thank you Max so much..we're listening. So encouraging to hear from you.
I'm so sorry. I will be praying for you. God is near to the broken hearted. Rest in Him - He will give you the strength to get through. Sometimes the strength is just for the next minute, but He will give you what you need.
Oh Greta, my heart is sorry for your loss of both your precious Mother and Daughter. Please trust in the Lord for He is very close and will never leave you! Continue in Faith no matter how heavy the cross. I pray for divine protection, comfort, peace and blessings for you in Jesus most Holy and precious name! Amen 🙏
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalms 34:18 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:22-24
So true, these times r very lonely, without family & friends, & a boomerang pandemic. I find this time of year especially hard since my family is not around anymore & as I watch others hustle & bustle for their holiday festivities I seem to get more depressed 😢 wishing I had those days back. I have accepted Jesus as my savior & pray/talk/cry out to God all day & night but I can't seem to hear him or feel his presence, my heart aches most times, but I keep pressing on. Please pray for me 🙏
After decades of a nightmare life, I finally stepped into a little church. As we stood to sing, I broke into tears. My mind was filled with remorse for all I had done and would Jesus accept me now. And I heard a voice say, "Connie, I was always and will be always near to you" And from that moment I never left Him.
Praise the Lord for He healed me of lonliness, depression and anxiety! Thank you Lord for Your unfailing Love! Please help those suffering from loneliness and open hearts to receive You, Amen 🙏🙏
I am a 62 yr old and I am also lonely. Have been for many years. You are so right about feelings of insignificance. That's why I rely on God, Jesus He gets me through my days, everyday. I am lonely but I am not alone! Praise the Lord 🙌🙌🙌🎄🎄 Merry Christmas everyone ❤
Thank-you Max for your encouragement. On Dec 15th my Dear Husband of 45 years is going to have surgery . Oh please pray for David . Pray also that we will find a church family. We have not been to church for two years, our church broke up. Also pray for our daughter for anxiety. I know that everything even our discomfort has meaning in GODs plan. So grateful for others praying.
Max, thank you for being so “real” and authentic. Thank you for looking at us and speaking to us as if we were in your physical presence. You bring great comfort. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you.🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊
My dear momma died a few weeks ago making this Christmas feeling lonely. Mom and Dad gone to be with Jesus but I feel like an orphan. My grief is deep. Thank you for praying.
Pastor Max I'm in the hospital with chronic lung problem. I need prayers I have faith in Father God that he will heal me or he will do what he wants with me . I need to be strong and get better or except what Drs find out about my situation pray that I can handle it when the finish treating me thank you pastor max
I am lonely, I am 65 and seem to be all alone in the crowd of people. Please pray that Lord Jesus becomes real to me. I accepted the Lord as my Savior many years ago, and my spouse and Dad passed 5 years ago, my Mom this last June. All of the people I used to talk to daily are gone. I have lots of people that I could call but I don't really have anything to talk to them about, and I don't want to bother them about being lonely.
You can be with a bunch of people.. family even..but without God, you are absolutely alone.. without him no relationship makes sense.. without him I would be in despair.. but with him, where you are, and what you do, makes absolute sense
Thank you, Max, that's so true, with Jesus we are never alone. I've been living by my self for 30 years, and it hasn't been always easy, but God always been faithful to me, and I've never really felt alone or abandoned. I give glory to our God because his promises are true, just like you teach us so many times. Shalom !
Thank you Max, I TRULY appreciate how God Blessed you w/a special way to relate to us. Turning 70 soon & that's ok, my husband went to be w/Jesus when I was 42, his last words to me were "why won't you let me go", amazed & dumbstruck for a minute-as I didn't think I was holding onto him so tightly, in fact...I honestly felt I was ready, knowing he'd be w/Jesus...but, he waited until I said, "if you're going to be w/Jesus, I let you go". He turned his head & went 'home'...God is Good! Lonely? Yes, sometimes...but, before some injuries & disability...not so much. Now, well, I don't keep up w/apt(had to move from our home), or cook much...I do like to talk w/people, but have found myself withdrawn & seldom get out...all leads to 'feeling' loneliness at times. Well, can use prayer re: getting out...I've allowed the pain which led to lack of good sleep keep me from socializing...Sorry for length here! God be w/you all....
This brought tears to my eyes, even though I´m not lonely (yet), thank you Max! I´ve always loved your books but your RUclips messages go straight to my heart. Sending love and blessings for you and your family from Germany!
Wishing you and yours a very Merry and Blessed Christmas. Max, please pray for salvation for family and friends. I have seen God's work, he is working on my eldest grandson. He is now in rehab, following the steps, but more importantly talking and following Jesus. I pray that our Father will continue to protect and watch over family and friends who are dealing with addiction, depression, anger, unforgivingness, cancer, health issues and financial troubles. I love my Lord, I give Him thanks and praise 👏 🙌 🙏 ❤
What a genius idea! I'm very lonely. Mommy died and I've been alone since. I rarely leave, work at home, and cry too much. The story of the ATM at the graveside was so so sad 😢 Thank you for this video. 🙏🙏
To feel and live in the love the Lord offers me. Being in so much pain and grief, my loneliness is devastating. I no longer can even get through a day and my handicapped daughter and my granddaughters still want me. But yet I cannot do anything. From a woman that loved the Lord and did so much for everyone for 40 years but now can’t. Now bedridden? ER and countless appts but no answers or healing. They miss me and I’m missing life. Only 61 but feel 90. Jesus please be my strength and heal me to be able and willing to truly live. I relate and praying this. Lord thank You for Max and please help me replace my loneliness and devastating grief with You and Your presence. I never dreaded Christmas before and it’s breaking my heart. I’m asking Lord. Thank you for praying for me
Loneliness is a real bummer. But God 🙏 is SO awesome 👍💯! HE will never leave us nor forsake us! He wants us to spend time with Him. Maranatha! Come, Lord 🙏 Jesus!
God's timing is always perfect. It just amazes me. I was just thinking about this topic and certainly feeling it, but feeling guilty about feeling lonely.....and up popped Max's email. I almost deleted it but didn't. Wow! How powerful. I am 66 and fairly recently divorced from a man I've known since childhood. I have really no close family as many others do not also. So, of course, the loneliness creeps in. This video opened my eyes and shed light on my own loneliness and others' It motivates me and gives me the desire and courage to reach out to others. Thank you, Max, for your kind and wise words on a topic rarely discussed. Of course, I have been a long time reader of your books and found there much wisdom, comfort, and inspiration.
I have a dear friend that is losing her husband by year's end. He is in Hospice. I would like to request prayer for her and her family. I, myself, am lonely at times. My parents are gone. My grown children don't come often. I am married but we know how a person can be lonely with another person. Jesus is a great comfort to me. He loves me and each of you.
Please pray for our family to reunite . It's my fault the kids were taken and our lawyer said it would be best to surrender our parental rights. We didn't know what we know now. But it's to late to change the past all I can do is ask for forgiveness and hope they will come back to us in a few more years. Any kind of contact would be a blessing. Sincerely Beth
I know 😔 I Give such Thanks for the TRUTH of Christmas. 🌟the EVERLASTING TRUTH 📖 of JESUS CHRIST our LORD our SAVIOR 🍞 IMMANUEL 🕊️ GOD WITH US🦋 AMEN and AMEN🙏🙏🙏!
My sister and I are isolated. She is disabled and I left my job in 2020 when I was layed off to care for her. We are in a rural area with no car. We have no visitors and only a handful of distant loved ones that call us. Also a few online friends. My health mental and physical have declined. I reach out to God but receive no comfort or peace. I keep reaching out but His silence hurts so bad.
Angelozzi lived with the Rivas, who paid for an operation, new glasses and a vacation. Then things soured. He ran away in May, leaving a dentist bill for more than $3,600. A few weeks later he produced a couple of large checks, saying he wanted to settle his debts. But he had stolen the checks from a family near Piacenza, south of Milan, who put him up while on the run.
TY Max... I need prayer. I'm at a place where I don't have income or financially stable.. I'm fixing to have to leave where I've been staying. It would be a good thing bc the person and place that I'm at is hindering.. and forced to stay with a very miserable alcoholic.. I need financial stability... A real place to live. As I'm not being treated right.. this isn't a romantic relationship.. I'm here bc that's all I can do right now.. PLS PLS... Pray for me and my needs and family.. I have 2 son's.. 1 is disabled... And here with me.. and I can't leave him although I'm being told I have to.. and I truly don't know what to do or where I go from here... I need a home and independence.. AT age 60.. it's really hard, I give it All to the Lord.. but still troubled bc this is very real and IDK what to do... 🙌🙏🙌... TY for yr prayer's... I need help.
I'd love to have somewhere to live where I could be happy and financially secure.. just someone who could and would reach out to help me.... PRAYERS PLS... 🙏🙌🙏
I am alone. I wish I knew what is so wrong with me that I am unfit for human interaction. I feel like the last person on earth even when I'm in a busy place. I've cried in the parking lot after shopping etc. There's 8 billion people on the earth. Still on the 25th I'll be alone.-
Praying Psalm 25:16-17 for you! "Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish." You are loved and valued by our Savior! May you find another person to share this great news!
I do relate to the lonely language but True Love doesn’t lie, cheat, play heart/head games with their beautiful spouse. and true love doesn’t discard/abandon their spouse. and true love quickly apologizes when he realizes that he accidentally hurts the people he says he really loves a lot And true love protects the Godly Women he loves a lot. And true love fights for the Women he loves:) And true loves never stops dating the Women he loves. And adores:) And true love godly love doesn’t keep secrets from their beautiful spouse. And my ex husband has never ever apologized for what he did to me all of those years ago yes I can forgive him. and I have forgiven him. And his family I have always fully depended On God to take care of me:) and God was there with me the day my ex husband abandoned me years ago. And God has never ever abandoned or treated me badly:) And he loves me. And I want to wait on God to bring me my second husband. and he will be a very very godly man. And I can’t wait to finally meet him someday:) and until then I stay pretty busy serving God. And spending time with my Godly family And my dog. And I absolutely love going to church so so much:)
A true Christian, one who follows the "WAY" of Jesus, will be somewhat lonely because they do not celebrate pagan christmas with family and friends; they don't follow the crowds to Hell.
Thank you Pastor Max! I LOL about the ATM. Did you? This is one of the most "powerful" (lack of the perfect word) messages from Pastor Max I have listened to. Did you get the present? Merry CHRISTmas to us!
I'm 79 and have been a widow for 29 yrs but because I have and love God I'm never alone...He is right here beside me in everything I do. So grateful for Jesus
Thank you God bless you
Beautiful, how wonderful is Our God! Blessings to you 🙏🙏💛
@Virginia Robinson, I agree with you completely. I am 62. I became a widow 27 years ago, and raised our daughter on my own. But God was/is constantly with me, guiding and loving me…and my daughter. God had even named her Hannah….the Grace of God. Hallelujah for His faithfulness❣️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
🎄💜🎄💜🎄💜🎄💜🎄💜🎄
I live alone but I am not alone because I can talk with God and he can talk with me ^^
I can relate to this. No friend No family. Just my Parrot and Father God for 2 years. Haven't been able to drive for 1 year cuz of an unknown medical problem with my eye causing balance problems. It has been beyond difficult, but I will not lose Hope...ever. I love you Lord!
I can relate…I have only my kitty. But God is my closest friend and father. He is with us. God bless you!

Thank you and bless you. Your words bless us all. I thank God for putting you on this Earth to bless so many.
Please pray that my 18yr old granddaughter Noelle who has been brought up in the church will hold to God...my daughter says she has got hard to read...she shows no emotions and is a senior in school...they are starting to have trouble with her...
Thank you
Maybe she feels pressured to go to college or do something she’s not ready for. They need to let her know she is supported in her dreams or she will continue to stay closed up and distant. If they think she will fall, that’s okay. They need to let her try. Also, high school can be a scary place anymore, especially for girls.
Will be praying for Noelle
She moved out yesterday,..she's a senior in high school
I pray for divine interventions, miracles and blessings for your Dear Granddaughter in Jesus mighty name! Amen 🙏🙏

Christmas is marvellous beyond description. The main is Jesus Christ and HE is with me.
Pastor Max what a special message during these times of isolation. Bless you and saying a pray for you----
You can be with a bunch of people.. family even..but without God, you are absolutely alone.. without him no relationship makes sense.. without him I would be in despair.. but with him, where you are, and what you do, makes absolute sense

Please pray for my husband to be saved and maybe he will come home for Christmas. Thanks
What a genius idea!
I'm very lonely. Mommy died and I've been alone since. I rarely leave, work at home, and cry too much.
The story of the ATM at the graveside was so so sad 😢
Thank you for this video. 🙏🙏
Family continues to battle Spiritual Warfare
Will keep praying for you and all family
To feel and live in the love the Lord offers me. Being in so much pain and grief, my loneliness is devastating.
I no longer can even get through a day and my handicapped daughter and my granddaughters still want me. But yet I cannot do anything.
From a woman that loved the Lord and did so much for everyone for 40 years but now can’t. Now bedridden?
ER and countless appts but no answers or healing.
They miss me and I’m missing life. Only 61 but feel 90.
Jesus please be my strength and heal me to be able and willing to truly live.
I relate and praying this.
Lord thank You for Max and please help me replace my loneliness and devastating grief with You and Your presence.
I never dreaded Christmas before and it’s breaking my heart. I’m asking Lord.
Thank you for praying for me
Please pray for my wife and me as we face several health challenges. I am on dialysis and my wife is on chemotherapy. Thank you.
Merry Christmas to you and Denalyn!!!
Thank you, thank you Pastor Max
Loneliness is a real bummer. But God 🙏 is SO awesome 👍💯! HE will never leave us nor forsake us! He wants us to spend time with Him. Maranatha! Come, Lord 🙏 Jesus!
Very good
God's timing is always perfect. It just amazes me. I was just thinking about this topic and certainly feeling it, but feeling guilty about feeling lonely.....and up popped Max's email. I almost deleted it but didn't. Wow! How powerful. I am 66 and fairly recently divorced from a man I've known since childhood. I have really no close family as many others do not also. So, of course, the loneliness creeps in. This video opened my eyes and shed light on my own loneliness and others'
It motivates me and gives me the desire and courage to reach out to others. Thank you, Max, for your kind and wise words on a topic rarely discussed. Of course, I have been a long time reader of your books and found there much wisdom, comfort, and inspiration.
I have a dear friend that is losing her husband by year's end. He is in Hospice. I would like to request prayer for her and her family. I, myself, am lonely at times. My parents are gone. My grown children don't come often. I am married but we know how a person can be lonely with another person. Jesus is a great comfort to me. He loves me and each of you.
Praying
So many lonely people."..close your eyes and picture holding baby Jesus….see how it feels
Depression and anxiety plus physical symptoms overtake me. It's been daily since August.
Please pray for our family to reunite . It's my fault the kids were taken and our lawyer said it would be best to surrender our parental rights. We didn't know what we know now. But it's to late to change the past all I can do is ask for forgiveness and hope they will come back to us in a few more years. Any kind of contact would be a blessing. Sincerely Beth
I know 😔 I Give such Thanks for the TRUTH of Christmas. 🌟the EVERLASTING TRUTH 📖 of JESUS CHRIST our LORD our SAVIOR 🍞 IMMANUEL 🕊️ GOD WITH US🦋 AMEN and AMEN🙏🙏🙏!
❤

My sister and I are isolated. She is disabled and I left my job in 2020 when I was layed off to care for her. We are in a rural area with no car. We have no visitors and only a handful of distant loved ones that call us. Also a few online friends. My health mental and physical have declined. I reach out to God but receive no comfort or peace. I keep reaching out but His silence hurts so bad.
I don't want the thoughts of His peace and comfort. I want the tangible peace and comfort.
Angelozzi lived with the Rivas, who paid for an operation, new glasses and a vacation. Then things soured. He ran away in May, leaving a dentist bill for more than $3,600.
A few weeks later he produced a couple of large checks, saying he wanted to settle his debts. But he had stolen the checks from a family near Piacenza, south of Milan, who put him up while on the run.
TY Max... I need prayer. I'm at a place where I don't have income or financially stable.. I'm fixing to have to leave where I've been staying. It would be a good thing bc the person and place that I'm at is hindering.. and forced to stay with a very miserable alcoholic.. I need financial stability... A real place to live. As I'm not being treated right.. this isn't a romantic relationship.. I'm here bc that's all I can do right now.. PLS PLS... Pray for me and my needs and family.. I have 2 son's.. 1 is disabled... And here with me.. and I can't leave him although I'm being told I have to.. and I truly don't know what to do or where I go from here... I need a home and independence.. AT age 60.. it's really hard, I give it All to the Lord.. but still troubled bc this is very real and IDK what to do... 🙌🙏🙌... TY for yr prayer's... I need help.
I'd love to have somewhere to live where I could be happy and financially secure.. just someone who could and would reach out to help me.... PRAYERS PLS... 🙏🙌🙏
I am alone. I wish I knew what is so wrong with me that I am unfit for human interaction. I feel like the last person on earth even when I'm in a busy place. I've cried in the parking lot after shopping etc. There's 8 billion people on the earth. Still on the 25th I'll be alone.-
Praying Psalm 25:16-17 for you! "Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish." You are loved and valued by our Savior! May you find another person to share this great news!
Praying for you Cheri,
God is a good Father. You call on Him too.
I do relate to the lonely language but True Love doesn’t lie, cheat, play heart/head games with their beautiful spouse. and true love doesn’t discard/abandon their spouse. and true love quickly apologizes when he realizes that he accidentally hurts the people he says he really loves a lot And true love protects the Godly Women he loves a lot. And true love fights for the Women he loves:) And true loves never stops dating the Women he loves. And adores:) And true love godly love doesn’t keep secrets from their beautiful spouse. And my ex husband has never ever apologized for what he did to me all of those years ago yes I can forgive him. and I have forgiven him. And his family I have always fully depended On God to take care of me:) and God was there with me the day my ex husband abandoned me years ago. And God has never ever abandoned or treated me badly:) And he loves me. And I want to wait on God to bring me my second husband. and he will be a very very godly man. And I can’t wait to finally meet him someday:) and until then I stay pretty busy serving God. And spending time with my Godly family And my dog. And I absolutely love going to church so so much:)
Hey if you could please pray for my brother he has had a couple of strokes
🙏🏻🕊✝️💐🐾♥️
I have the Lord.....I am still lonely. COVID, satan, has stolen everything.
Romans:5:6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, christ died for the ungodly.
Many of them just wanted his money, not him.
A true Christian, one who follows the "WAY" of Jesus, will be somewhat lonely because they do not celebrate pagan christmas with family and friends; they don't follow the crowds to Hell.
Sure don't feel like he's with me...
Thank you Pastor Max!
I LOL about the ATM. Did you? This is one of the most "powerful" (lack of the perfect word) messages from Pastor Max I have listened to. Did you get the present?
Merry CHRISTmas to us!
