Loneliness
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed (Deuteronomy 31:8).
We can feel lonely on our own or even when we are surrounded by people. How can you overcome the feeling of loneliness? The LCANZ offers a range of resources to assist you as you experience loneliness.
Lutheran Media
We live in a world with more than six billion people! With so many people, it’s amazing that anyone would ever feel alone. But even though we are surrounded by all these people, there are times when our suffering and pain go unnoticed. We often feel isolated, cut off from the concerns and compassion we need. Why do we sometimes feel so alone, like our life doesn’t really matter to anyone else? How do we overcome our loneliness? What hope is there for times when we feel lonely? And can God help?
Watch the videos, listen to the interview podcasts and read the free downloadable booklets from Lutheran Media and Messages of hope to discover hope.
