I know the Lord is with me always and always available. So if I am lonely is this a sin as in I don't have enough faith and love in Him?

No. Everyone gets lonely once in a while. You aren't sinning by being lonely... just keep praying and asking him to help you from feeling alone.

I don't know the exact answer to that. But, God knows we are human and He knows that loneliness is a human trait. I think He has also provided a way out of being lonely. It's up to us to find it. Reading the Bible and Christian literature on the subject may very well help. See how others handle it and what they do. I know that getting involved in something can help a lot. Get a job if you don't have one. Get involved in some sort of program. Try to actually be a help to, and for, others.Offer to help do things in and around your church. Try to get your mind off of yourself and on others or on other things. Get some of those odd jobs done that you have been putting off. Help an elderly or sick person. You could also listen to some music that you like. Read, watch a movie-DVD etc. Put your mind to it and you can come up with some things.

No. It only shows that you are a sinner, not that it is a sin in itself. What you need to remember is that you are growing in the Lord.
Everyone has to learn new things with God, it's a rule or something! lol
We cannot fathom the riches of His knowledge. So be patient, and when you start to feel that way again; there's your Bible! Start learning!
Sometimes I do this:
I get into a motor vehicle and start to drive where ever I have never been before. I turn off the radio. I bring my cell phone just in case I need it. I bring a thing or two to drink, and just drive. Eventually I open myself up to Him and tell Him all about everything, just like I might with a friend. I quote scripture to Him when I feel moved to do so, and cry if I start feeling sad.
And there's no one there to see me do it except Him. No one to hear me except me and Him. After I said what I have to say, I begin to drive back, and maybe listen to a preacher on the radio. And I find it rather good for me spiritually. God and I are close when I do that. I think that I should do it more.

ok, first of all, ure right, jesus will never EVER forsake you. secondly , theres no such thing as not enough faith. Do you believe that he is the one and only god? do you believe that with God everything is possible? then you are not without faith. what you said proves that you have faith, though you may not believe it. u may be in doubt, but never without faith. this lonliness, or doubt, or whatever it is youre going through, is not a sin. you are in need of guidance of some sort. pray about it man, read your bible. see what God has to say about all this. he loves you. i hope ive helped in some way

You are not lonely if you know the Lord. You have brothers and sisters. If you want to get married pray to Jesus and seek with hope. When I did not believe in God I was lonely for 13 years and had no hope. I prayed to Jesus and now I'm married for 8 happy years. God bless you.

Try not to let yourself get to hungry, to tired, or to alone. Even God becomes lonely or there would be no creation else why bother? It's as important to be loved as it is to love or we would be satisfied to worship idols. Seek communion if possible and if it's unavailable then feel the loneliness in you heart and know that it is unfulfilled love and turn that hunger to the heavens to fulfill your need by direct communion with God.
Never feel "Bad" for desiring company.

no, lonilness is NOT a sin, we all experience loneliness, some more than others. It's a natural and very common thing to feel, what you might be lacking is companionship, like you need a relationship, or a pet--just something or someone to be there and love you.

Not that I'm anything at all, but if lonliness were a sin, I'm the greatest sinner of them all. It is only my faith and love in Abba and Yahshua, and the great things that He has shown me, that keep me going at all. It's a dark world out there.

I don't know. Lack of faith leads to sin and sin leads to loneliness. Yet many prophets experience depression and times of feeling down. Stay in the Word and fellowship. Love people around you. Don't just talk about yourself but listen to people and relate to them. I don't know you so I'm just throwing out suggestions I would give to anyone.
