Loneliness Billy Graham’s Daily Devotion Oct 16, 2021

My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
–Psalm 84:2

Loneliness is one of the greatest problems people face today. It is a leading cause of suicide-that is now the third greatest killer of students in the United States. People feel various kinds of loneliness. One of the most common is the loneliness of solitude. Or there is the loneliness of suffering. Many people experience loneliness in society, or there is the loneliness of sorrow, guilt, and judgment. All of us feel at times a loneliness for God. Someone has called it cosmic loneliness. We don’t know what it is. It makes us restless. You see, man was made for God; and without God, he is lonely. But Jesus is knocking at the door of our heart, saying, “I want to come in. Let me in.” He doesn’t push His way through that door. We have to open it and invite Him in; when we do, He comes in to live forever and we are never lonely again. Listen to this Billy Graham message about how to cure loneliness forever. Read more about loneliness. Lea este devocional en español en es.billygraham.org.


PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord Jesus, I remember the agony of my days without You. Lead me to the lonely people who need to experience the joy of Your companionship, too.

New experience

If you are tired of living on the beaten path that everyone else walks, venture into the woods. Some people would be afraid they would get lost, but a confident woman expects to have a new experience that might be outrageously wonderful.

Pray: Lord, help me to see beyond my narrow limitations for people. I want to see what You see in them, but I’ll never see it without Your touch. Amen.

Communication and understanding each other

Philippians 4:7 KJV
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We are all different the key is understanding that and realizing there will be miscommunication on both sides sometimes but not to get upset and frustrated by it but talk it out. Do not let your emotions over rule you and then you have to break down the walls created by emotions that got in the way. Listen and think before you act or say something you may later regret.

Pray: Lord, I want to be a woman of wisdom and understanding. Help me comprehend why people are the way they are and how I can improve in my communication and friendships. Amen.
