"It is not good for the

Gen 2:18
Solitude & Loneliness
"Loneliness isn't being alone.
That's solitude. It's feeling alone."
The Pursuit of Happiness – David G. Myers
Solitude & Loneliness
Jesus often felt the need for solitude
When Jesus heard what had happened,
he withdrew by boat privately to a
solitary place
Matt 14:13
Solitude & Loneliness
Jesus often felt the need for solitude
But Jesus often withdrew to lonely
places and prayed
Luke 5:16
Solitude & Loneliness
Jesus also knew the pain of loneliness
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a
loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"
- which means, "My God, my God, why
have you forsaken me?"
Matt 27:46
Solitude & Loneliness
David knew the pain of loneliness
Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted
Psalm 25:16
Oppression can result in Loneliness
Again I looked and saw all the
oppression that was taking place under
the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed
- and they have no comforter; power
was on the side of their oppressors and they have no comforter.
Oppression can result in Loneliness
3 million children,
infants and mothers
were evacuated
from Britain's cities
in the early days of
September 1939
Competitiveness can result in Loneliness
And I saw that all toil and all
achievement spring from one person’s
envy of another. This too is meaningless,
a chasing after the wind
Ecc 4:4-5
Competitiveness can result in Loneliness
Fools fold their hands and
ruin themselves
Ecc 4:5
Competitiveness can result in Loneliness
Better one handful with tranquillity
than two handfuls with toil
and chasing after the wind
Ecc 4:6
Isolation can result in Loneliness
There was a man all alone; he had neither son
nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet
his eyes were not content with his wealth.
“For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why
am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too
is meaningless - a miserable business!
Ecc 4:7-8
Power can result in Loneliness
Better a poor but wise youth than an old but
foolish king who no longer knows how to heed
a warning ... I saw that all who lived and
walked under the sun followed the youth, the
king’s successor ... But those who came later
were not pleased with the successor
Ecc 4:13-15
It’s lonely at the top
“The more you stay in
this kind of job, the more
you realize that a public
figure, a major public
figure, is a lonely man”
Richard Nixon
It’s lonely at the top
“People may spend their whole
lives climbing the ladder of
success only to find, once they
reach the top, that the ladder is
leaning against the wrong wall”
Thomas Merton
The value of human companionship
Two are better than one, because they have a
good return for their labour: If either of them
falls down, one can help the other up …
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep
warm ... Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves. A cord of three
strands is not quickly broken.
Two are better than one
Mutual encouragement when we’re weak

Mutual support when we are vulnerable
Mutual protection when we’re
under some form of attack
Chuck Swindoll
Two are better than one
"You can make more friends in two months
by becoming really interested in other people
than you can in two years by trying to get
other people interested in you. Which is just
another way of saying that the best way to
make a friend is to be one."
Dale Carnegie
The value of Godly wisdom
Better a poor but wise youth than an old
but foolish king who no longer knows how
to heed a warning - Ecc 4:13
The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom - Prov 9:10
If you are lonely
Are you too busy to cultivate friendships?
Are you waiting for others to befriend you?

Are you using opportunities to befriend others?
“All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?”
