Roadmap for Life – Day 9

– Loneliness and isolation
There are times in our lives when we feel lonely or isolated. However, it may be for obvious reasons, such as having relationship problems with a spouse or losing a loved one. No matter your age, loneliness can be a big problem as it’s not always easy to find a group of like-minded people to socialise with. Christ, who understands loneliness and rejection, became like one of us.

The Psalmist often called out to God in loneliness and desolation.

– When you’re at your lowest ebb
Feelings of loneliness often come and go during life. However, if you’re persistently lonely for no obvious reason it can be a sign of depression. In this case, you need to talk about it, either to your family, a friend or a counselor to get help.

– Join a Bible Study group
This is the fastest way of connecting with people you feel comfortable with. If you cannot find a fellowship group, try getting a Bible study group together. Put up a flyer in your area, shop or even at work, and you will be amazed at the response you get.
