Singleness & Loneliness

Loneliness is something we all deal with in different seasons of life. Whether or not you are in a relationship, you will battle loneliness at some point in your life. To overcome loneliness, you need to take your eyes off yourself and look at the big picture. When you are so consumed by loneliness, that can result in self-pity, entitlement, then sin. The only person who can cure loneliness is our Creator. If you try to fill the void with anything else, you'll come up short.

What you can do when you find yourself feeling lonely:     

1. Pray, read your bible – spend uninterrupted time with God  
2. Reach out to (a lonely) friend – call, text, hang out – be a friend!  
3. Workout – run, go to the gym  
4. Read a book –learn something new  
5. Travel – day trip, weekend trip, etc.  
6. Volunteer  
7. Try something new – write a song or poem, learn an instrument
