The worse thing that kills your life is being sad and lonely. This can led to so many other problems like depression, fatigue, low self esteem and even suicide.

We will shed some ways to overcome this feeling, but understand that lonelyness is an emotion originating from sin. Sin uses situations to twist your emotions and destroy you, it’s a spiral that’s hard to stop.

3 Ways to Overcome Loneliness

1. Don’t watch or listen to things that trigger this emotion. You will never heal from this situation by exposing yourself to things that remind you of the incident. Of course there is a time of remorse, and memories are normal.

2. Cry – Don’t be afraid or to proud to cry. We live in a society where crying represents weakness, this is hogwash, crying is a natural way of releasing emotions. It’s part of the healing process, by keeping it in you create more bad than good. Do you think that people who commit suicide are happy? Suppressing emotions can only lead to more pain, don’t allow sin to tell you otherwise.

3. When your sad and lonely it’s normal to be withdrawn, you need alone time. You can become distant from family and friends. Sin will want you to stay disconnected forever, this will lead to bad things ahead. Being aware of this and take the time you need to grieve, but keep in mind what can happen if you allow this to go on to long. Take little steps to stay connected, by this I mean call a friend just to say hello.  Go see a movie, read something positive, the point is by all means experience the grieving process, but don’t let sin overcome you with depression.

My dear friends I’ve been there, I have laid in bed for weeks dwelling in sorrow. But, I knew at some point I had to force myself to reconnect again or it would get ugly.

Take an hour here and there to volunteer, it will be hard to force yourself to do this, but you will be telling sin that you won’t fall into its trap.

I tell you from experience, this works and is a necessary step so you can stay away from depression or worse.
