The Pit of Loneliness

Author Dana Redricks February 3, 2023 How do I escape this pit of loneliness? Do I try to fit in, or cover it up and try to numb the pain, I have tried that, but it only left me feeling much more empty. I know God will never leave, nor forsake me, but the problem you see humans are meant to be part of a community. I’m one of those square pegs living in a round world who could never seem to fit in. Day in and out I spend my days trapped in my room. No matter where I go the burden of loneliness follows me around like a shadow hovering above. I have often felt like giving up, but it is only God Who comforts my soul. I spend my days in the wilderness hoping that someday I would find someone who would accept me for who I am, love me, and spend time with me. Oh Lord deliver me from this pit of despair.
