The worst part is being alone in a relationship. 😢
Yes. It’s the worst feeling in the world. 😢
Perfectly stated
That is called loneliness. Being alone is being by yourself.
Robin Williams said it best - the only thing worse than being alone is being with people who make you feel alone. This was my now ex-wife who I let use and emotionally abused me far too long till I got the strength to divorce her - and yet I still miss her 7 months later even after she ghosted me for the last 18 months of our marriage. I will be weak for women no more!
Well said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯
I really don't fear being alone , I just fear being with the person God didn't call me to be with
@@nazareyes3773I hadn’t to thought about it that way! Thank you
The idea of a single "soul mate" isnt actually biblical. There isnt a single person God has called you to be with. There are many people who love God and would be someone you could have a God honoring relationship with. I that isnt something I would worry about. The concept of "oh but what if I chose the wrong one and God actually had someone else for me" is not a question I will ever ask. If I marry a woman, that's it, that's who im meant to be with. Because I make that commitment in marriage.
The ULTIMATE Sign of Love is what Jesus Christ did on that Cross 2000 years ago for ALL of us...we need to return to that FIRST Love God has shown us and stay in the love of Jesus because the Devil Satan and his Demons who are Ruling this world will Never be Able to touch us if we Remain in his Love and presence🙏💟If we are TRUE Desciples of Jesus and we OBEY His words written in Matthew Mark Luke and John🙏When we are LED by his Holy spirit that he Promised to ALL of us and we are washed from our sins and Baptized in the name of the Trinity😄
@@nazareyes3773thats bullcrap healthy fear of foolishness is good
The Lord does not give you a spirit of fear
It is better to be single and lonely, than married and miserable.
Amen to that sistah.
Praying for all of us 😢💔❤️🩹❤️🙏
Proverbs 21:9: 'Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.' ;)
Correct😊
I agree! No truer words have been spoken. Amen!!!
Anyone experiencing loneliness, remember it's just for a season.. a season of preparation. God bless.
God bless!
Six years of loneliness is not a season. It’s a lifetime sentence. It’s a prison cell. It’s a marathon. Waiting for the seasons finale.
@@freepoetjsr1602 develop in obsercuity
Or it could be till death, this desire usually goes unfulfilled
Thank you, I just said this to myself 💕 you confirmed AMEN sister
1. Losing the fear of being alone
2. Gaining the strength of rather being alone
3. Beginning to see that most of the joy comes from giving, not receiving.
4. Say enough to fears that are causing you to stay away from relationships.
Number 1 is false based on Genesis 2 and human psychology
@@Insane_ForJesus PAUL PREFERS SINGLENESS
7:6) and counsels widows to remain single if possible (1 Cor. 7:8). Singleness is preferred because of “the present distress” (1 Cor. 7:26, CSB), and those who aren't married are advised not to “seek a wife” (
According this, I'm gonna keep suffering then
@@scottmacdonald8942 You are misunderstanding Paul. If everyone followed his preference then you would get a society like Japan or Western Europe where the birth rate is so low that the care of the elderly and work force is at major risk. Big nuclear families are God's design based on Genesis. Singleness is only for a small minority of people wanting to focus on God's work. Paul recommends singleness for people that have the desire of focusing solely on God and not creating nuclear families as commanded in Genesis.
@@Insane_ForJesus well said , I'm tired of all this bullshit spouted about what Paul said . We are not made to be alone, that's why God gave Adam a mate. Because we live in a broken sinful world many of us have to suffer singleness. Another thing that really winds me up is the " it's just for a season bullshit" many many Christians have to suffer singleness all their lives and put up with the smug advice from married Christians in the Church who haven't a clue how painful it can be.
It's better to be a little bit uncomfortable and face loneliness occasionally then to suffer with the drama and disappointment of being in the wrong relationship
... so you are being CAREFUL to Not be in the Wrong situation ? You are Not going to be a Drama Queen , for sure... but you will be Not be the Dancing Queen , either !
I am alone! Not even friends, because I attracted the same type of fake friends/ narcissists as my ex! Spend the last 6 years alone - I only have a friend now…and for the 1st time in my life, I don’t feel used! It is balanced! So, I am sure it will happen with a partner as well! Learned to do and enjoy things alone: bought a house and celebrated with a champagne ( yeah, just me), went to restaurant alone, to movie alone, a lot of diy alone- love it! There is absolutely no fear of being alone! The only thing I fear is being without God…I keep healing and working on myself!!!When I ll meet my partner…I’ll be ready!
The only fear I have is being without God. I'm with you on that.
@Quantam Leap Your comment speaks to me. A lot. I’m the same. If you ever want be prayer or accountability partners, let me know. Somehow. Lol.
I wish we lived close ! Lol
Same!
Building confidence next level
yes i learned from my last relationship your better off alone than in a toxic relationship anyday
so true
Exactly 😊
A few days before 2023 started, I finally unlocked my heart to wholly lean on God for my problems, my joys, and loneliness. I can give and never feel empty forevermore. 🙌
God gives me love, attention, and strength to serve others without needing something in return.
Act Without Expectation
I havent not been in relationship for my entire life I’m 26 and I don’t know what feels like to be loved 😂. Only Gods love has been part of my life
Being in your twenties is a bittersweet experience but critical to future fulfillment. You still have some stuff to go through in life but if you trust that God wants the best for you, he will bring someone along to walk with you. I didn’t know love in my twenties but i definitely know it now. Pain and struggle taught me about love. Ask God for his help. He wants to help you.
God’s love is the best first love 🎉
Being alone can be good too. Peace, calm, time to care for yourself. Time for devotions.
Yeah 👍👍
Time to turn inwards ❤
Oh my goodness, that loneliness in a relationship is terrible. He claimed to be a believer but was emotionally and psychologically abusive. I felt terrible. I made up my mind that I'd rather be single than unhappy and alone! Praise God that this lesson has spared me from some very potentially destructive relationships.
Hello 👋🏻 Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather?
So HELP me God...UPDATED 20-2-23 Good news :- Glory to God after 5 years of chronic loneliness NEW HOPE of Friendship & Love :- may the honeymoon phase LAST THIS LIFETIME PLZ GOD 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
John 15:5! He is worthy!
Same... When even God Himself seems to rejoice in your frustration, this is when help is the most needed and love and respect run away the fastest...
@@S.M.Jean-Mahmoud_Ier John thanks n true, YET God has been PHENOMINAL Kind, Favoring me, Blessing me, providing SO MUCH for me, that I never lack, but a few things the enemy has STOLEN..... if the theif be caught........
I AM truly, genuinely happy for you both...
Mark, Thank you so much this video was Holy Spirit inspired. I was battling loneliness some months ago and I asked God to give me a contented spirit until He blessings me with a Godly relationship that will lead to marriage. And I am content otherwise and I truly Thank God! I don't have that nagging feeling any longer about being lonely and "why has it not happened for me yet". it's truly freeing Blessings to you and your family. 🙏❤️
Amen! This is great report! God is good!
Remember to be careful people. When you walk in contentment and lose the fear of being alone, you will suddenly find yourself getting a lot more attention than usual. Now your fear ought to be fearing choosing the wrong one, this is where prayer for confirmation comes in and is helpful. Always compare a potential boyfriend or girlfriend to biblical descriptions of good character. Remember to be weary of those who flatter and those who say one thing and behave differently. Please be patient and make sure you know who you are choosing to get involved with
What's crazy is I've asked for confirmation before about guys and I think I've gotten it several times and then it ends badly. Sometimes it's so confusing
@@Nita-GodisGreat Describe the confirmation
@Magni Thorsson like getting a message or call from them right after or soon after or me ending up at a place that they were involved in but I didn't know or having dreams about them
Sometimes it's no fun being lonely. It really isn't. I myself still feeling like this for the past few years now and I'm waiting for my misery to be put out for good. 😓
This is a timely video. I have been extremely isolated and alone for many years now, I have been asking God for a wife and a family for 4.5 years now. I hope my loneliness is coming to its final end.
Dear heavenly father we come together were two or three are gathered you will surely be and what we pray upon you will surely agree on.
Lord, we present you your son. We also that you bless him with a wife and his family. It is time to break the loneliness in the mighty name of Christ Jesus. It is ok your word. No man should be left alone.
I totally understand I feel the same
I have waited for 7 years and sometimes feel like giving up on waiting. Hope God will make the delivery one day.
@@millykukkiriza5338 I pray on that
❤
It's really strange because I was content in my loneliness for about a 1 year and a half and now there's this guy who i think likes me who I'm also interested in but now i feel not necessarily scared to be lonely but uncomfortable with it. It was literally just me, couple friends, and God for a while. I really hope I am ready for another relationship! :)
Just take it easy, if God wants you to together then he will reveal it to you, otherwise keep doing what you normally would be doing.
@@dinomra7771 Thank you so much for this advice!! God bless you! 💕
I was extremely independent when I met my husband at 28 years old and at 31, we got married and we're with each other and married for 27 years when he got up and left me and he remarried within a year, and I've been single for 6 years, and I've had to go through the loneliness and acceptance of no longer having a marriage, and now I'm getting to the point where I'm okay being alone, but it's difficult, because I'm older but my great desire is to be married again!. There is no guarantee in a marriage. We both lived for God 100%, but you never know if your partner is going to change until they do.
These are the things that scare me but its a risk one has to take.What casues them to change??
Praying you also move on and find a good person to settle with
Been single since 2021 though I got out of fear of being heartbroken.
But since I rededicated my life to God I don't feel as lonely anymore... if He brings me someone that's aligned with the kingdom business I'll give thanks
I feel the same way, I'm getting past that God blesses me with the woman that aligns with the kingdom of God that will be a blessing but I can't be putting no one before God before Jesus
I have been so isolated! I have chosen it. As a single mom with 3 little boys, my focus was totally on raising them for the Lord and developing in my calling to full time ministry. Their dad left when my youngest two (twins) were babies. He was no longer apart of our lives and I chose never to date, have social life or anything. My sons are now 32 and 33. I haven't made friends or dated still at 62. I just retired but to pursue the calling I've known God gave me. I never felt lonely or any desire to remarry until recently. I'm afraid of it yes but the desire is beginning and crashes into my thoughts at random times. I have been clear that I never ever wanted to remarry but here I am kind of dancing around the thought.
Cheering for you from Alabama
Yes, the thought of growing old alone is not a good one. Like you, never dated much but I have no kids either. It's lonely.
It’s YOUR time now
Lesson number one. Don't let non-lonely people speak about loneliness.
If you have experienced it it fine to
To be honest I always felt lonely I always Tried my best to find friends and it always ended in a few days or perhaps hours, now I've recently started to love being alone since it helps me get closer to god✨
God is good!
No one has to be alone life is to short.
there are some days when i think i’m ready for a relationship and some days i think i’m not. it’s hard
Taste & see 👀That The Lord is 👁️👁️GOOD....... toe dip in a Godly relationship :- BEWARE OF UNEQUALLY YOKED for it is NO JOKE he says after 2 train-wreck failure marriages - losing Everything BUT finding God finally - I can see He was ALWAYS around me....... so... it probably could have been worse........ am still here devil & now the table is gonna get turned on that nasty narcissist LOSER ‼️🙏🙏🙏
I can relate to #s 1 2 and 4
Thanking the Lord for taking away all the loneliness in terms of broken relationships
My loneliness now is caused from the loss of my 2 siblings in a year(2021) It's been hard to take all the pain and sadness. It's now the worries of my sister diagnosed with a stage 4 breast cancer last year
Been praying harder and my ultimate wish this 2023 is for God to heal her. With God, nothing is impossible😊
I'm so sorry to hear about these trials and losses. May the Lord bless you and secure you in faith as you keep walking forward with him
WoW, Mark this message truly spoke life in my hear! I stayed in a toxic dysfunctional marriage for 13 years because of my strong fear of rejection and loneliness. Then he cheated and God gave me the strength to leave. I have been single for 4 years because I know the feeling of loneliness while being with the wrong person which did more harm to my self confidence. The deep dependence is better through God. I remember my counselor mentioned ‘why fear being alone, if I cannot stand being with myself how can I expect someone else to stand being with me. I have to learn to live with myself for the rest of my life! Please pray for me so that I can break the barriers of rejection that is holding me back from truly living my life according to God’s will. I hope this helps someone!!
I can really relate to your comment. Same here, 13-year toxic relationship. It is my relationship with Jesus that I am content with. If God has plans for me to remarry, I am sure He will make it clear and obvious to me. Be in peace!
You are not alone! We are all works in progress. For me I do fear some rejection and I grewip in a dysfunctional household. But I ask God to break those chains, those fears. Fear is not of the Lord and keeps us stuck. Give yourself permission to move forward. With God's help you will be free. Who the son sets free is free indeed!
Sending you hugs and love
You’re not alone
I would love to but someone needs to show me..I'm 53..& as a child, I had limited sporadic church experiences...but I know HE was always watching me from a distance but never introduced himself..
I so agree with you about the pushy sales people. I avoid pushy sales people like the plague.
Amen, me too :)
Anything pushy or forced is very repulsive.
Was literally having a conversation with someone about these same things and this pops up on my phone, God was listening
Nice!
Same
I finally get the meaning behind the saying *I'd rather be alone, than be with people who make me feel lonely.*
This video spoke right to my heart but in a very painful way. God is showing me that I may still have a long way to go out of this dreadful season. It’s rough but I trust God and know He will guide me out of it, while molding me into who I need to be.
Everything always works in God's timing, just like when I received this message today. Thank you 🙏🏾♥️
I love myself i gave up on seeking for relationship with people so loneliness is not a barrier i love spending time with myself because when God is on my side nothing is impossible
... You must have heard that Justin Bieber song , " if you think I'm holding out 4 you...why don't you just Love Yourself ! "
Amen. I was with my First Love for 18 years married 13. But now I have been on my own 4 years. I Thank God for my Alone time. I just know that I was never lonely because I had God on my side.❤
Fantastic video. I love the advice. Though I’m so tired of trying to make friends or find my future husband I’d rather just stop talking to people. It hurts to be rejected even when I take things slow. Hard to find genuine people in California.
I’ve been struggling with intense loneliness since I was a child😢 most of my years and still now I didn’t have enough good friends and now I mostly feel lonely for God as I feel I can’t ever get enough of him and I’m afraid of getting attached to people whether a relationship or friendship because so many people presumed to be friends have let me down and have all rejected me😞
I'm 37.My family are unbelievers for generations.I along with God have to overcome the impossible
For God nothing is impossible
I am not afraid of being alone at all, and I'm very much content in God and confident in god more than anything. I'm also serving the lord the best that I can. and God completes me, all of us, really, and not people. I have been single for 22 years, and I've been in situationships (crushing relationships) and I've feared abandonment because I was abandoned as a child, and I once feared rejection, but I don't fear those things anymore. I said enough to those fears long ago and I'm still saying enough to those fears to this day.
Heavenly father I would love to remarry again. It is dumb to think I can live alone.
I'm not afraid of being alone, I'm afraid of getting to used being alone so much that I forget how to be with someone else.
Great video awesome advice.
I've been alone for over seven years, but there is a strong awareness of God's presence on my life!
But there's no getting away from the fact that at sixty-one. I have never married.
First of all, Mark, your background/set is better than before. 🙂 It's good to switch locations sometimes. Second, thank you for this message. I am not afraid of being alone but sometimes I could feel in my spirit that I am longing to have someone to enjoy life. It's not loneliness but i just want to have someone to share moments with.
I agree with what you're say, it's sometimes I feel it's not loneliness is just wanted to share those moments with but at times it is loneliness that means I have to dive in the in the in the Bible and read the word of God 🙏🙏
I feel alone all the time!😥
I am currently struggling with this. Loneliness is a painful thing. I've been trying to rewire my brain to be content with being single where I'd otherwise go back to a bad relationship that hurt me for 2 years. Prayer would be appreciated.
I'm sending my prayers to you.
Just remember, we are worthy of a Godly marriage and we deserve it. Pray to God about this and let this singleness bring you closer to God
I am sorry you are going through this. My husband separated from me with my two children because I was becoming closer to the Father. It’s been very painful. No support from family but have that shalom in your heart. Biblical prophecies are happening more quickly and do believe the eminent return of Christ is very near. This is the blessed hope. Still praying for those who are falling away. God bless you all!
I guess 2023 will be a good year then 😄
whether or not I end up meeting someone, I threw unnecessary pessimism out of the window and put my trust in God 😇
Lord, please let these years be over- I want to stand in joy and contentment in you- but its hard to believe for a healthy community when your hope over and over is deferred
Being an Expat, I have had too many mismatched friendships. Thanks for being awareness to this.
Narcissism is not of God, but of the devil. If your husband is a narcissist, know he will not change unless he totally surrenders his life into the Lord.
Mark I was in a relationship with someone I thought was the one at first until I realized she wasn’t the best for my mindset because she had cheated on someone with me to begin that relationship. After that started tormenting my mind, we ended up breaking up because she left me for someone else. I was destroyed for years until I saw your video stating that God wouldn’t build a healthy relationship based on that, I honestly believe that your video describing my situation was a sign from God that it really wasn’t meant to be.
Im ready to walk down the road can you hold my hand please
Very true...there's nothing lonelier than being with someone that does not love you.
God is putting all these videos in my path. He is talking to me!!!!
Thank you for this message
Amazing! I needed this right now!
So powerful ! Thank you ! 🔥

Thank you God for speaking to me thru this video
You got me on this one.
Such a great video! Thank you
Amen! Thank you Mark!
You are so welcome, God is good!
Good stuff. Thanks Mark.
Mark, as usual, you are on point! Great video. I always enjoy listening to you and your advice. My thing though is that I’ve been alone so long, and I’m content with being alone, and if ever anyone tries to get close to me, it’s going to irritate me that there’s somebody there. 😂
lol, you probably just need to find someone who likes alone time too! You two can be "alone" together :)
Pearls are FORMED as a SOLUTION TO an 'irritation'........... 💎.......

Wonderful advice. ❤
Yes I have lost it. I don’t mind being alone and not except being treated any kind of way. I will walk away I know my value and what I want.

God bless your wise God-given discernment. 🙏🏾
Videos are always right on time...thank you HolySpirit🙏
What about serving someone out of love, only to realize that it wasn’t appropriate? Yes I totally agree that serving others brings love towards others, but I hesitate greatly to give due to loosing friendships. Happened to me twice and I still don’t understand why? It was extremely painful when you loved deeply, only to find it end rejection. Though both relationships have been restored, yet I will never give to them like I used to. If I give it’s healthy to give small.
Br Mark, would you be interested in doing a teaching on this? You have tremendously helped me in relationships already. I came from a background of not having close relationships. In my late teens and twenties I’ve had so much trouble in relationships.
God speak to you through your heart.
Guy thanks à lot for your channel ❤
This was excellent teaching, thank you
That’s the good stuff right there!! Thank you 🙏🏾 so funny I had told myself couple of days ago “I’m alright.” I’m was telling my parents of my growth and revelations over the past 3 years…😊
THANK YOU! VERY INSIGHTFUL! WITH MUCH GRATITUDE! AMEN ☮️♥️🫂🙏
