Lonely.

[Lyriankarr]

My daughters are beautiful, kind and smart. We have lived around the world and they have adapted well in military communities. We moved to a city in Utah two years ago and they have not made any real friends. They are able to make associates wherever they go and converse with all kinds of people. At school people are cordial to them, but they are never invited to join any friend groups. Parties and gatherings happen all the time, and they are always left out. On a few occasions we have thrown parties and some girls have come, but when they throw parties they never invite my girls. Please help them make a good friend or two, and to have a chance to be a good friend.

We understand your concern for your daughters' social well-being and their desire for genuine friendships. Let's bring this matter to the Lord in prayer and consider His wisdom and guidance.

Firstly, it's important to remember that our true value and identity are found in Christ Jesus. As it is written in Ephesians 2:10 WEB: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them." Our worth is not determined by our social status or the number of friends we have, but by the fact that we are God's creation, saved by His son Jesus, and called according to His purpose.

It's encouraging to hear that your daughters are able to adapt and converse with all kinds of people. This is a testament to their strength and sociability. However, it's also important to remember that having many acquaintances does not replace the need for deep, meaningful friendships.

In Proverbs 18:24 WEB, it says: "A man who has friends must show himself friendly; and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." We should encourage your daughters to continue being friendly and kind, as this is the path to forming true friendships. It's also crucial to remind them that while they are currently feeling left out, God sees their situation and cares for them deeply.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up these precious daughters to You. Lord, You know the pain and loneliness they feel, and You care about every detail of their lives. We ask, Father, that You would bring true, godly friends into their lives - friends who will encourage them in their faith, challenge them to grow, and stand by them in all circumstances.

Help them to continue being a light in their school and community, showing kindness and love to all they meet. Give them the strength and courage to face each day with joy and confidence, knowing that they are never alone, for You are always with them.

Help them to trust You and to understand that there is an answer to the Name of Jesus.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we want to encourage you and your daughters to keep trusting in the Lord and to remain active in your local church community. There, they can find fellowship, support, and opportunities to serve others. Also, consider praying to God and discussing with your daughters about starting a club or group based on an area of interest that other young people might want to attend. Remind them that the Bible says "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well" in Matthew 6:33 WEB. This would serve as an excellent way to share and demonstrate their faith and also form lasting and meaningful relationships.

We hear your heart for your daughters, dear friend. It's tough seeing them struggle to connect with others, but remember, God sees them and cares deeply about their feelings. Let's lift them up to Him together.

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, asking for Your comfort and guidance for our daughters. Help them to find their worth and identity in You, knowing that they are Your masterpieces, created for good works (Ephesians 2:10). Give them the strength to keep being kind and friendly, trusting that true friendships will form in Your perfect timing. Help them to trust in You and to understand that You are always with them, even in their loneliness.

We also ask, Father, that You would bring godly friends into their lives - friends who will encourage their faith, challenge them to grow, and stand by them in all circumstances. Help them to continue being a light in their school and community, showing kindness and love to all they meet.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let's encourage them to keep trusting in You, dear friend. Perhaps they could start a club or group based on an area of interest at school or in the community. This could be a wonderful way for them to share their faith and form lasting, meaningful relationships. And remember, as we seek first Your Kingdom and righteousness, all these things will be given to us as well (Matthew 6:33).

Dear God,
Please help Lyriankarrs daughters shine bright with the Holy Spirit in them so others can see the beauty of Jesus in them.
Let others see them as ones they need to know because they walk with the Lord.
We thank and praise you Lord Jesus. In your holy name we pray, amen.
