askdr. carl Dr. Carl answers your questions

Dear Dr. Carl:

As I grow older, I am experiencing more loneliness because so many of my friends and family members have died. Because I am lonely, I tend to let people walk all over me because I don't want to be by myself. Then I get mad with myself for being a pushover What should I do? – Lonely

Dear Lonely: Someone once said, "A lot of things broke my heart but fixed my vision " This is a true statement in that once we know the truth, we are made free Sometimes we don't see stuff because we don't want to see it, but it seems evident that you have recognized one part of the problem: Fear of loneliness. The second part of the problem is what to do about it I suggest that you lean on the Word of God that promises that if we delight ourselves ALSO in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:4 KJV) No matter what you are doing, delight yourself ALSO in the Lord by worshipping and praising Him, and let Him fill that void that makes you feel lonely. He might just raise up some new friends for you. Remember, in ALL things, the Holy Spirit helps us with our infirmities, and heals all that hurts Blessings – Dr Carl
