I just need prayers not to feel lonely. Generally, mostly I just would like to talk about anything, how I could feel closer to Jesus, any suggestions you can give. I need him very much in my life, when I have Him close to me, I don’t feel the loneliness but then it’s usually only me who fights for this close connection with Him and I get tired of being alone in the fight and feel farther from Him. I would like to get back my first love for Him, when He was everything I wanted in the centre of my life. There is no proper community of my age group in the place I live to attend. At my workplace there is one believer I can talk with, only sometimes for shorter time, which is not enough for me, and she’s not Catholic. My best friend is very ill and cannot any attention to me. In my family nobody is pushing me towards the faith, rather I must do it with them, and I would need encouragement too sometimes, which I don’t know where to get from. I’m blamed always for things by many people, even those who are close to me, they won’t accept me as I am and I have no idea how to make it better and why I’m so much unacceptable. Everybody loves me for who they think I should be, who they imagine me to be, they always give advice what I should do and how I should change, and not for who I really am. It’s difficult to accept.
I always decide to live life cheerfully and I’m so happy about life, every small wonder of it, I enjoy it very much but I’m too much sensitive and I cannot change it. Maybe I don’t even want to change it.
That’s all and I hope I can also help some of you and hope to talk about our relationship with Jesus.
God bless you all.
 
PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

yeah, i know how you feel, same thing happens to me. i will pray for you. just remember, jesus knows the feeling better than anyone. all his apostles who were supposed to be his friends ran away at the last minute when he captured. a moment where he would have needed someone most. one betrayed him, one denied him 3 times, and the rest hid. except for john that is. go to talk to church, pray a lot and do not despair, also, i’ve learned that friends in your certain "age group: is relaly limiting ourselves. i used to do that; just try to find people my own age but it doen’st help. sometimes there are none. so now i’ve learned to just be friends with anyone i can. for example, i recently decided that i needed to get more involved in church activities to i joined the catholic women’s league. well guess what, i’m the youngest one theree; the rest of them are all little old ladied. but it’s ok, we are all one in christ, despite age, race, gender or ethnicity. god bless you
 
Lord, please grant many graces to iawoveuooo, that this soul may cultivate joy, fortitude, hope, faith, and charity. Lead this soul as a shining light of your love, now and forever. Protect iawoveuooo with holy angels from all evils, from others’ mouths or otherwise. Send this soul the comfort of your love, the warmth of the fire of your love. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, pray with us. Amen.
 
Dear Lord!
Make me remember,
when the world seems cold and dreary
and I know not where to turn for comfort,
that there is always one spot bright and cheerful,
the Sanctuary.
When I am in desolation of spirit,
when all who are dear to me have passed away
like summer flowers
and none are left to love me and care for me,
whisper to my troubled soul
that there is one Friend who dies not,
one who’s Love never changes
Jesus on the altar.
When sorrow thicken and crush me with their burden,
when I look in vain for comfort,
let me remember Your words:
“Come to Me,
all you who labor and are heavily burdened,
and I will refresh you.”

Amen.

When I feel especially isolated I ask God to bury me deeply in His heart and hold me while I sleep. It helps me to know that even though I am isolated He is with me and waiting to comfort me. I am trying to post more on CAF, that helps with being isolated from other Catholics, but I have started a diary. Now, I hate writing these days and I have never really kept up with diaries, but in this diary I write to God & it is working quite well. If I must write it may as well be worth it and dedicated to Abba!

Thank you for your wonderful prayer, I hope it happens as it is very difficult to do it alone. I feel no strength. Everybody is just listing their doubts around me, why God does what, that they don’t know what to believe, why God does not help believers, and so on. I can understand why they say it, sometimes I ask questions too but then I always realise that I have nothing else but Jesus. If I don’t stick to Him, then everything is lost,and I cannot find any peace, and they should find and always keep Him too. Now everybody is just doing that and I’m tired and I don’t have strength alone. I want to keep joy and peace but it’s very difficult. Thank you for listening to me, to all of you, it helps, and also your prayers. God bless you all.

Thank you for your help and for reminding me that Jesus knows how I feel. It feels so painful when I just need someone and they don’t have time or willingness to listen because they chase unimportant things instead. Yes, He knows and also showed us that sometimes we have to be alone, but also, we are never alone, as He promised to stay with us forever. My problem is that I find it hard to connect to people personally, I like writing here because this is how I like and feel comfortable to connect. I can’t really try to find communion with other believers in my church. Some disappointments, and also, I’m quite closed nowadays. It’s a very good idea and suggestion that I should try with other age groups too, actually I have done and found a friend this way, I wish it was not so difficult to connect to people, I would not feel so lonely sometimes I guess.You are right that we are all one in Christ, I perfectly agree with that, and this suggestion really helped.Thank you! God bless you too.
