Please when you can, pray for me. I'm a ### year old widower and all my adult children are overseas. I attend church every week but as I live alone I'm terribly lonely and depressed.

I prayer for you

Can I share something that might seem a bit odd? Being ### is simply a number. So if we look at "age" as a reference point, we are looking at life wrong. God has supplied you with amazing ability and talents to overcome any situation. Attending church is ok, but life is filled with adventures and learning new things. Have you thought about going to your local community center and see what sort of activities there are that you might enjoy? Find out what you enjoy doing and then volunteering your time to different organizations that could benefit from your experience and wisdom?
It's better than sitting at home, and allowing your loneliness and depression to be your reference point.
Father, thank you for this man who you have fashioned and formed to a life of wonderful experiences. Holy Spirit help him to figure out what stirs his spirit to life and wholeness, joy and peace. In Jesus name. Amen.
Be strong and of good courage.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I have no personal transport and no public transport within walking distance so getting to community service centers is impossible for me. Also, I live on a small state pension making the use of taxis or Uber out of my budget. Bless you.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
