Dear Heavenly Father,
You know the desires of my heart and the emptiness I feel. I feel so alone in this world. Please help me find a close friend for the right purpose. I don’t want to leave this world empty and alone. I need someone I can talk to. It doesn’t have to be daily - just once in a while would help me tremendously. This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
Hi! God is super rad and knows EXACTLY the kind of person, specific details included that you’re looking to befriend. I am rad, but nowhere near that kind of rad, but check this out:
- I will happily volunteer to be a friend of yours if you’d have any interest in a friend such as myself.
- Benefits to my friendship:
1: I love to laugh and love to make others laugh. If you’re into chuckling, I got your back.
2 : I won’t judge you or criticize you unnecessarily. (If you wear an ugly hat or a terrible tie and show me a picture, I may critique your choice, constructively.) [That was an attempt at demonstrating the key points in #1. Did it work?]
3 : I talk a lot so you wouldn’t get an opportunity feel lonely too terribly often.
4 : Even if we don’t agree on any particular topic or idea, I’m into celebrating the differences between humans, because it’s what balances us.
5 : There are a lot more, but we have to be friends before you can find out what they are.
Feeling alone is not a nice feeling when it’s unwanted or sticks around too long. I empathize greatly with what you’re going through and hope you are relieved of that heaviness soon!
Grab a Post It note. Or napkin. White board. Chalk. Mirror. Or just good old pen and paper. Write this down and put it somewhere you see often:
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you…”
I’m pretty sure that is from Isaiah 40 or 41… Something like that. But I’d definitely double check my math before posting it on the Internet for others to see. (See?! Another joke!) But really, check it first.
Respect and Peace,
F
