Sometimes i feel lonely because I don’t have that many friends or feel like i can be fully open with my friends about my struggles with my faith and things like that because they aren’t Christians or i feel like I’ll be judged or maybe that they wouldn’t understand
If you feel you're going to be judged, then those people aren't who God wants you to confide it, especially if they're not Christians. I don't have anyone to talk to, and I feel like my church is tired of my and family issues. But that's the devil giving me his version of it. We need to look to Jesus, what's his way, and what's his ultimate blessing to us. Maybe writing out your prayers in a daily prayer journal might help. When I haven't used mine in a while, I get a sense of the world's ways are attacking me or me thinking sometimes their ways are OK. It's hard to do but easy to say, lean on the Lord. He knows what's best! ❤ I'm saying this from experience, loving in the world is lonely without God. Find strength in the Lord. God bless! 😢❤
@@mrs.francescadixon4969 thank you so much ❤️
@@mrs.francescadixon4969 wow, needed this!
I went through a season of long loneliness and no close Christian friends - similar to you. A year and a half later, after praying for God to bring me those God-sent friends in His time, and learning to seek Him and love Him, I realised just how much I learnt, learning to be in His presence and to have Him as a best friend. It was a very hard period but I don’t regret it in the slightest. Then He laid in on my heart to start praying for friends (18 months into this period), and I met them the day after. God hears, God weeps with you and He knows how you feel. I am praying for you right now !! X
@@oyindabello554 thank you !
I just feel people don’t care about me and I try my best to make people feel seen and loved
We Care for you and Jesus loves you. Will continue to pray for you.
The family of christ is big , so don't give up brother stay strong in faith and he will shine his Devine light in your heart , stay strong in faith brother it is your shield 🛡 ❤️
First make yourself seen and loved inside and it will be reflected back to you externally. I’m talking to myself too. Be well❤️ps… I see you and I love you
@@jodilynn8559 thank you
Jesus is the true comforter and friend. Yet if you still willing, i am willing to hear you.
Amen! I was feeling lonely and cold early this morning. I closed my eyes and prayed to God about my loneliness. I opened RUclips and this was the first one to pop up. 🙏
Amen!
Amen
I’m going through loneliness now and I’ve prayed multiple times for a Godly friend and I’m not sure but I’m feeling more lonely then ever and I don’t have not one friend. Co workers slander on me behind my back and I can hear them and idk if they know or even care. I’m feeling like I’m being punished and it’s getting worse . My own family don’t even speak to me and I don’t even have my own place to live and that hurts even more so I wake up alone and leave work alone it’s just truly sad 😔. But I’m going to try and keep moving forward , I’m not losing faith in the Father 🙏🏼
You are not alone and I realize that I am not alone as well in this struggle to come against loneliness. I have a ministry myself that I could be involved in but I have found a struggle that I am overcoming has kept me from fellowship with them so loneliness has been a constant battle these past few months. I will pray for you Justin as it seems we both have the same struggles lately and well I would ask that you would pray for me because I want to be more faithful to God in this time and work through this period of fighting loneliness and moving closer to the Lord. God bless you and keep you in Jesus name Amen.
I’m praying for you Justin. I hope that God brings an end to your struggles soon
I pray this world finds God again, he’s all we need.
I’m going through my first heartbreak right now and i’m older than most that usually go through their first heartbreak. So I feel like everyone just continues to tell me the same exact thing. Until one of my friends sent me this video. This is what I needed. It’s hard not having someone after being with them for so long. I can only continue to pray and try to persevere through him. Thank you Jesus
How are you doing now, brother?
That’s a good friend!
wow brother you are not alone. Most people (especially those in loving relationships themselves) make moving seem so easy and will likely look down on you for not being able to. Go at your own pace, I hope you feel better nowadays.
How are you doing now? I hope everything is well.
I have been going through a similar situation and it's been 6mo now, nothing has changed.
Don’t forget to be grateful fam! Let’s be happy with what we’ve got. Jesus is with us in our loneliness
Omg. I had to go read Mark 14: 32-42 and cry because Jesus endured so much for me, for us. Lord, I thank you!!!
Matthew chapter 14 ends at verse 36
Hey Alicia, hope you meant 'oh my goodness' or 'oh my gosh', since we shouldn't carry God's name in vain. And even if you meant those, using the short form 'omg' especially in front of believers could make it seem that using His name in vain is ok. Just remember that. God bless!
Thank you for always including Scripture! God is doing amazing things in and through you and your family, Alex!
You are so welcome

I am a counselor & I shared this to my timeline with an invitation for my friends to pray with me for people feeling lonely especially during November/December/January. We know God did not create us to be alone so that is why our soul bristles at loneliness. When we deal with it outside of our Creator, it can lead us down some very dark paths. Praying for the lonely but also the people who aren't lonely to have the eyes of Jesus to "see" & be creative in their compassion! ❤
The lord is always on time. I recently just broke up with my girlfriend due to us not sharing the same beliefs/morals and she didn’t believe in god and I am looking for a godly women. I’ve been struggling with the breakup and feeling lonely. And this video popped up in my feed. Give thanks to the lord! Thank you Alex for the video.
Stay strong in the Lord. He loves you and is with you always. Isaiah 43:1-2. You are His, brother.
I genuinely thank you for posting this. It was right on time🩵
Thank you, Lord! I just prayed that because I haven't been able to sit in my depression with you, I'm still going through thoughts and emotions. And then this video pops up. No one can tell me you don't hear our prayers. That was one of the most amazing responses you've given me recently, Lord. Thank you! I'll need to keep this on repeat. God bless! ❤❤❤
God knows ' Oh he knows his children . I just prayed and conveyed to God in my prayer that I am lonely , I feel lonely . Asked God to bless me with a friend whom I can share with the conversations I have with myself and the thoughts about God . I prayed for my husband the person whom God will pair me with in unity as one . I am so amazed when I opened youtube and this video popped up . I am a daily listener of your podcast keep sharing the food of God . 😊🌈❤
God Isolated me from everyone that I know, which aint that much, while living in another continent, far away from my family because He wants me to understand that the only one that can really help me through this jorney is Jesus Christ and it's been hard for me because i've dealt with depression in the past and felt lonely while being with my family and close friends around but now, there's no way but to learn and understand that He's right! Jesus is the only friend i can count on and it should be like that because when we try to live in God's presence, right there should be just you and Him. I'm thankful to ever finding your channel and ministry and I all the latests videos have been helping me in this new path of Life! GLÓRIA A DEUS!
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!! ✝️
Yesterday I was letting negative thoughts about myself get into my heart and I felt like I was sinking, then I found myself fighting against that thoughts and lies about myself and that feeling instantly disappered. So i've decided to raise my head up and not bow before the problem that darkness raises into my life, always remembering myself of Joshua 1:9 - I've commanded you to be strong and brave. Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go.
Truly overwhelming how many people in the comment section ( including me) who received this message in Gods appointed time.
Glory to God.
Amen!
I feel lonely because I am really shy and making friends for me is hard. I don't really like to be around people but when I am around the correct people, the people I call friends I am not lonely and this positive energy comes out and the loneliness goes away. I am in college, I am a commuter and all my friends live on campus which limits the time I interact with them.
I'm the same way and in the exact same situation. I'm very reserved so it can be hard to get involved sometimes. Kind of tough but God has us bro!
This came at the right time man! Been dealing with loneliness for some time, especially since the pandemic. Really needed to hear this message and these practical tips! Was truly an answered prayer. I’ve been trying so hard to control the negative emotions that come with loneliness, solely relying on my own understanding. But that’s led to a deeper pit. Learning that it’s okay to feel! Thank you Alex for this word!
Man, God is good! Been feeling extra lonely today. This came out at just the right time
Glory! I am lonely, and I thought I was feeling and how wrong am I. Never ashamed to admit this aloud because of Jesus and my faith. I am heeled by His Stripes because I will stay in and with what I’ve been granted, His instructions. Thank You Abba🙏🏾
I feel lonely because all of my life I felt like nobody really understood and understands me, and I want people to know me for who I am because I care about showing my true self to others. Anyway it seems like I really struggle to let others know who am I, almost feels like I lack communication skills in this regard and it's really painful to witness. I pray that every person feeling lonely asks The Lord to deliver them from it and to give them the strength and a plan to act on it with faith, knowing He already won the fight. Remember: IT IS FINISHED. God bless everyone reading this, merry Christmas to you all.
I feel lonely because I have been dependent on worldly people and sinful action to fill the void in my heart. This has caused me to become far from God and has caused my sin to feel like a giant weight on my back. I pray constantly that I can overcome this sin through Jesus and I trust that the trials I face now are building my endurance to become the best Christian I can be. Thank you for this video and I know I will be okay.
I love this channel. I am someone who likes to be by themselves but I do want company sometimes. It’s a lot harder because I am in other country and my whole family is not here. I find comfort in knowing I am not alone and that Jesus is always with me. Thank you for this message🙏🏽
You just put into words what I feel. Stay strong
I feel like David in the Bible a lot, ironically it’s also actually my name. I want to live a life pleasing to God & constantly become a better version of myself. Praying for guidance, wisdom, knowledge & understanding. Amen
Hi Mr. Alex. God be glorified. Thank you for letting the Lord use you.
For some reason, Who God made me to be is not loved by people, other people are loved fpr beong themselves, free to be themselves. I don't fit in, not used to people cherishing what i say, although it's gotten better.
Thanks! I've just turned 39 and still single😢
I just had a sudden breakup with someone that I was pretty much convinced I would marry. I struggle with loneliness so much and I know I will especially now. Alex, thank you so much for this wisdom, I probably will come back and watch this video again because these are such good reminders
You don’t even understand how on time this video is…thank you brother.
I remember saying to myself in a time of isolation “People will always judge, and not understand you for your beliefs. But if there was something or someone I would obsessively place my beliefs and life on, is Christ.”
Amen brother 🙌🏾🙏🏾I've been feeling lonley these days broken hearted 💔
I love you back.
Why do I feel lonely?
Bc my understanding seems to be disengaged towards entertainment. I’ve found god dwells within and for whatever reason people who get too close to me end up having things come up for them and they go on their way.. I live alone. I enjoy my work, I see gods provision in my life, I’m charitable ~ but my heart is still limping.. I feel slightly depressed, a wet blanket of sadness over my chest. Holy Spirit fire evaporates some of it away.. Why is it there? I’ve been resented more than loved by people and it’s created a deep doubt in my existence.. well .. there is Jesus’s testimony . In my life. He takes away my pain bc what he endured is far greater than what I endure . :) and I can keep being upbeat and happy even if there is a real sadness indwelling. thanks for giving me a smile. See you in heaven 🙏
I feel that we as humans... no matter how hard an emotion or feeling hits us at one point seem to forget a week or two later just how much that impacted us making the majority of our pains obsolete... until we encounter a time that helps us remember what it meant to feel that feeling in that moment we experienced previously... which i think means we are relying on our own earthly understanding of what life is in order to try to have an encounter of what Christ wants us to experience so that we may be closest to Him! When we remain sensitive to HIS presence we are in constant reminder of what it means to be near to His reality that we may encounter the things He's requiring of us to experience in order for us to grow in His will so that we may be more faithful and encounter Him more than we could ever understand. Alex is such a Spirit filled Man jus imagine how much so his children will be if they continue to be under his dominion and teaching.
Amen brother thank you, solitude aka loneliness draws us closer to Jesus, helps us stay rooted in God to produce fruit.
John 15:5
Proverbs 3:5-6
I am in the darkest point of my life but also the brightest. My wife left me and her departure made me realize how dark my heart was. Now I am embracing my loneliness, rediscovering myself, learning to love myself again and knowing God. Thank you Alex. To all of you struggling, you got this, follow my journey in healing and finding lasting happiness. God bless us all.
I’ve been feeling lonely because like you discussed in the video Alex, I been trying to fix this hole in my heart that I only should’ve went to God for. I will now go to Him for counsel. In Him alone. Appreciate you for another helpful video God bless you and the family! ❤️
I feel lonely because I am no longer getting male attention/validation. It wasn’t fulfilling to begin with, but now that I’m pulling away from that lifestyle & only searching for validation from God, it hurts. I feel extremely alone. I don’t want to keep trying to prove myself to others, and drown in my loneliness.
Matthew 28:20 NLT
... And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
I'm so grateful for this channel, Alex. It has helped me a lot in my walk with Christ this year. Like you, I was always familiar with the church, yet for whatever reason, God has softened my heart so much this year. He is a great God. Peace be with you guys today.
Alex you likely will not see this, but thank you. The Lord has been speaking to me relentlessly and this video is what He used to take the scales from my eyes.
Thank you for spreading this message. There was once a time when I was feeling lonely and told some of my friends about it. Luckily, they did offer me the support I needed but my loneliness didn't go away, later on I realized it was my lack of faith onto the lord Christ.
I feel lonely because I feel as I need this one female in my life, she's done so much for me but I've messed up in this relationship, we have a kid tg and I've been trying my hardest to be the best man and the best dad to our daughter lately, and I know I've been working on myself, but yesterday she said she realized she deserved better, and she shouldn't ask for it, but I must pray over this, and I hope she can see the me now, but if it is in God's will, it will happen, I have to trust him that he knows what he's doing for me
Praying for you! Leave it in gods hands
I know it's hard , when you have to leave your physical and verbal love , but something greater will come brother that jesus has prepared for ylu don't give up faith , stay strong brother 🙏🏾
Really needed to hear this. I’m in a place where their is a new hardship each week and it’s been hard but God is faithful.
Maaan If this wasn’t Gods perfect timing!! 🙏🏽 I NEEDED this today 🙌🏽
Good morning from the UK, Alex
What a wonderful way to start my day, the reminder that nothing nor anyone other but Jesus, can fill that hole in the heart I know it by experience, no relative, friend, material things, dreams, etc... can fill the void in your heart that cries out for God, who created us in His image and likeness, who knows us even before we were born!!! ❤ I am reminded of something you shared recently:
"Spend time with the One who has the capacity to strip us down to the bare bones of our heart's cry".
The One, is Jesus ❤ the more intimate our relationship with Him, we learn to develop the healthy connection with others ❤ Thank you Alex, I like to share your videos and golden nuggets like this one, with others, to feed their souls with God's goodness!
I had a lifelong struggle with loneliness and a feeling of rejection that was really holding me back as a young person. It didn’t matter if I had good relationships or not, I still felt so lonely that I would cry bitterly every night. When I was about 20 I finally felt the Holy Spirit challenge me to tell the spirit of loneliness/rejection to leave and stop agreeing with it. I didn’t really want to at first because I just liked wallowing in it honestly. But as soon as I actually said “loneliness leave in Jesus Name” my tears stopped, and I felt a weight off my shoulders. I thought for sure the next night it would be back, but it never came back. It’s been 8 years and I’ve had some very isolated times, but I’ve never been crushed by loneliness!
I love your videos, the concept (faithful - 7 F's to stay faithful and fight loneliness) just give a good, real overview over the subject which is grounded in the Holy Scripture. This channel is blessed 😊
Thank you brother, came at the perfect time where I was looking to fill my heart with everything but Jesus but now he’s changing my heart and taking hold. I pray your harvest is multiplied 10 fold upon you and your family in JESUS NAME AMEN AND AMEN, God bless be safe.
This is so good. Message is received and saved. Thank you. A dear friend lost his wife of 20+years and my best friend was friends with his wife. Double whammy. And I’ve been soaking in the Word and staying prayer for them. I can’t imagine but what I will do is have the Word drenched in my heart so that Jesus shines through and brings comfort to them. Great, great message ❤
wow that’s heavy. i’m so sorry! thank you for sharing 🥺👱🏾♂️🖤
I needed this ...been feeling lonely lately.Thank GOD amd thank you Alex❤
I needed this one, man... Thank you, God bless 💛
Ever since my divorce 10 yrs ago, I have spent every Holiday alone. Many tears and heartache but this year, if the tears come, I will press into the Presence of God. Even if the tears don't come, I am going to worship the One who never leaves me nor forsakes me and reading the Word always brings me great comfort, so, I'm actually looking forward to this time with Jesus.
@@sharpie-179 thank you. I appreciate your encouragement.
Thank you for all the help Alex. Through all the videos you have posted and the work of God in your life, you have truly been a blessing, thank you. Have you read Jeremiah 10:2-5? It says.
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of a forest, the works of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it may not move.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
I love you man for all you’ve done. Thank you. May the Holy Spirit guide you and show all the ways you shall go. The Bible also says that believers shall be as iron for iron sharpens iron. I hope this helps man. In Jesus’ name, Amen!! ✝️
When I feel the old anxiety and old way of thinking trying to get into my life it makes me burdened and feel alone but! "So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic." isaiah 28:16
Bro I have been needing this so much, all glory to Christ
It's actually crazy how whenever I face through troubles in my life you post a video regarding what im facing through lol Holy Spirit go crazy. Thanks kuya alex!
Asbolutely loved this biblical series being applied to real everyday life. You're a real one. Thank you.
Needed this. 🙏🏾
This came right on time. I needed to hear these words. Thank you and God bless you.
🌹 luv ya to Alex, thanks for this brotha. sharing the word is opening my heart and mind more and more.
I'm not gonna run from being lonely anymore I'm going to bring my lonelyness to the lord.
I was addicted to sinning for a long time and It made me feel super depressed and lonely knowing I wasn't living a righteous life.
I'm trying to do better and I'm trying harder and harder to just give up all the sinful things I used to do. (I won't give up and I won't turn away from God no more)
I needed this..
Amen! God bless you for this. Needed it tonight
I tend to feel lonely, because I worry about spreading the Word of God to my friends, the few that I have. I also tend to feel lonely because I have few friends. I tend to feel similar to Miguel Sobral. We seem to have some things in common. God is good, and I can just trust that He will save me from my loneliness, and that if I pray to him, everything will be ok. Jesus is good, and God bless 🙏✝️❤️
Thank you Alex❤

Much love ❤ from South Africa 🇿🇦
This was sooo helpful wow God bless you truly
Thanks!
Danke!
Amen. Honestly, I've been feeling lonely from the way I evolve compared to the people around me. I truly enjoy talking with my people and strangers in general but since I have decided to walk the path to God with God I don't have that many matching believers with me. Nowadays I feel like "Either we talk about God or we don't talk at all" in the sense that I want to focus only on high frequency discussions etc. So I feel lonely that there is not many like-minded christians in my life right now. I will pray about it.
Seeing this at the best time
Amen!
Good stuff
Thanks bro from Costa Rica
I am sorry that I always struggle with wanting a relationship with a woman when I am lonely. I hate sexual sin, even though I have fallen into it at times, I love Jesus ❤️ just have always been abused in my life and wanted help outside God at times. Please pray for me, I am sorry for my sin. I love you brothers and sisters ❤️
Ha ha first time commenting on a RUclips video cause of the Wheaton tennis crewneck. Just graduated from there! Love it.
