Why Do I Feel So Alone?

I feel so out of place. I feel so unloved. I feel left out, like no one wants to even talk to me. I don’t even know if I want to be around people. I can’t even hold a conversation. I feel sad all the time. I feel defeated. I feel hopeless. Why am I even here?

If you have ever said any of those things to yourself, you know what I’m talking about. Loneliness…it’s a hard place. And let me tell you, you’re not alone. So many girls your age feel the exact same way. 

Sometimes that loneliness comes when we lose a relationship or maybe a loved one.

You have the creator of the universe who planned out every little detail about you before He even formed the world. Jeremiah 1:5, God is telling this to Jeremiah, but it’s just as much for you as well. He says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. I approved of you as my chosen instrument. Before you were born, I set you apart and I called you to be a difference maker.” I’m totally paraphrasing that last part, but it’s truth!

 The biggest reason, though, that we feel lonely, is because it’s an outright attack from satan himself. He wants nothing more to make you think that you are worthless so that you detach yourself and isolate yourself from everyone else. And…if the enemy wants t
