DEALING WITH LONELINESS (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Loneliness

a) No one likes to feel alone.  We think that deep down inside all of us is a desire to be loved and to be with other people.  One of the earliest words of God in the book of Genesis is that it is not good for man to be alone.  

b) Many times we can feel all alone even if we are around other people.  Satan uses this against us many times so that we feel that we don’t matter or our testimony cannot be effective.  God’s word has much to say about loneliness. 

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave or forsake you. 

2. Dealing With Loneliness

Joshua 1:5 
No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.

Genesis 2:18  
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

 Psalms 38:9  
O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
