Is loneliness throwing you for a loop? The Bible shows you how you can ease loneliness through friendship. When you choose a Christian friend to help ease your loneliness, your faith will grow in the process.
I’ve been blessed to have many dear friendships in my life that have helped ease my loneliness. My best friend and I have known each other for over 30 years. Our relationship has had its ups and downs, and I’m thankful that God has led us back together after seasons of distance.
The best part of our shared friendship is our shared faith. She always encourages me straight from God’s Word when I feel lonely, confused or frustrated. Her wisdom lifts me up and helps me feel less alone in this challenging world.
I’m honored to write about loneliness and friendship at Devotable today. Here’s a preview of my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.

The phone just doesn’t cut it for me. I need live interaction. That’s why I attend a small group every week and Bible study every Wednesday morning.
Friend time doesn’t come without sacrifice. It can cost precious time and money. A good friendship is also going to cost you some vulnerability and probably a few tears. But it’s so worth it, because friendships can uniquely strengthen our faith…
