Having being a devout christian for 10 years, there's nothing that can shake off this feeling of loneliness. And since God does not have anything to do with providing us with a mate, being a good christian will not help you in this area. The loneliness with be there forever and it's one of the worst feelings in the world to have. Life is not worth living if you feel the constant emptiness and eternal loneliness. There's no joy in your life if you can't share your love with someone.

Dump the bad kisser and find a man who makes you happy. You are not meant to be alone - it causes loneliness.

I use to think the same, but finding that special someone does not always yeild the desired results.
The emptyness is a great one ill admit, but we do not need to be defined by a singular other. Its the 'worlds's' way off putting us down, making us less proud to be a Christian. When we sacrifise for our Father, He will Praise us for it, for its us that must make the first move, when we take a step towards God, He will take a couple of steps towards us.
Search for the Kingdom of God first and all the other things will fall in place without you even asking for them.
The lesson I had to learn on the hard way is just this: when we are alone we should be glad, for it could have been with someone that would just hurt us more than comfort us.
Being alone sucks, but its not the worst thing in the world (some are homeless, jobless, paralized, and the list goes on.)

Actually god is very responsible for providing you with a mate. He created you with a specific person in mind, unless He has called you to be single. Since you appearently have all this loneliness, you probably aren't supposed to be single forever. I totally understand where you're coming from, I'm the only single girl in a group of people who, even though most of them are in high school, know and are with the person God has given them to marry. I just keep trusting God that one day He's gonna bring someone into my life that's gonna sweep me off my feet. I still get lonely, but I have joy because I know that God, my friends and my family all love me.

Who says God has nothing to do with providing you with all your needs. I was divorced and heartbroken, I felt like my life would never be the same and I was right. When I hit what I thought was rock bottom, I prayed for God to send me a mate, I started going to Church again and I worked and ate and slept.
I would come home every evening and sit on my front porch and wait, I continued to pray, work, eat and sleep. After about two months I started getting packages while I was out, notes, candy and things but I had no idea from whom.
I set up a video camera and caught a very pretty girl (11 years younger than I was) putting these gifts on my porch. She had seen me in a play at Church and was leaving things around my home for me to find.
She is now my wife, we have three beautiful children and a wonderful home and life in Christ. Our children are named Heaven, Gabriel and Joshua. I am 43 years old and she is 32 and we are very much in love.
She is beautiful and well educated with 3 degrees in education. I am rather homely with a high school education. God has blessed me with a wonderful Job making very good money and a wonderful Christian wife.
My point is that I prayed and put it in Gods hands, I made leaps of faith in that I felt she was too young but after six months I dated her, I bought a home I felt I could not afford and I applied to jobs I felt I could never get.
God is in control of everything. God cares about everything in your life. Give up and let God be God. Be patient and wait on the Lord and listen for his voice when you pray.

The loneliness is part of the human condition. It is exacerbated by self-absorbtion. My suggestion would be to focus on how you can help others. Find a nursing home that needs volunteers, feed the hungry, that sort of thing. As long as you are focused on yourself, you will be isolated. Reach out to do good to others and you will be in community. This will reduce your isolation and loneliness.

Jesus counselled his disciple's generally to love one yet another as that they had enjoyed him, it fairly is totally easy. the certainty and given understanding of Jesus is the certainty of all scripturs with out exemption. The Sprit of the Christ lives on interior the hearts of people who love him, conquer your anger, and that i don't doubt you have a lot to be offended approximately, as do I, and hear the concepts and stories of they who've love and worship the super diety and his teachings. Atheism is a nonsense. I extremely have a great deal of admire for actuality seekers however the ranters make little or no coherent experience. you're a formidably smart contributor, with out doubt, and a extremely respected one, and that i've got self assurance it does a disservice on your reason to proceed this incessant tirade against the dedicated. you will cite freedom of speech and the main suitable to voice any comments you prefer to accomplish that. that is precisly this dogma that hinders progression and impedes enlightenment and th ePeace the international so urgently is in want of. speaking purely for the sake of rhetoric somewhat than to direct or substitute the international for the extra effective. i don't keep in mind Jesus ever asserting, ''You dont get it, '' The dedicated, I presume talk on precisely the comparable authority and premise that the atheists do. An offended infantile see observed of futile finger pointing and groundless accusations. Peace. Be So enjoyed.

No one is going to do your work for you. Especially a nonexistant god. If you want to find a mate, then you need to get out there and look for one. And no, I don't mean the bars. I mean join clubs that you like, do your favorite hobbies, etc. Get out and live your life instead of wallowing in self pity and your religion. No one will do something about your life unless you do. YOU are the one that has to fix it. Praying will do you no good at all if all you're doing is going to church and sitting at home.

You are wrong, God has everything to do with providing our future spouse. Christ can fill that loneliness if you let Him. Not only this but you have fellow Christians who are here to share your life, allow your congregation to become those you care for and share with, go on missions trips, share the love of Christ and He shall give it to you more abundantly

"And since God does not have anything to do with providing us with a mate, being a good christian will not help you in this area"
Does Christianity teach that? I'm a Muslim and I thus I believe in predestination. Surely, it is wrong to say that "God does not have anything to do with providing us with a mate" for He controls everything.
God knows best
Peace and Love
