Besides encouraging them, also request their concerns for you to include in prayer. Pray for all God's people, the peace of Israel, those in authority, etc. In short, become a prayer warrior and get out of the rut of self-pity. The bondage of loneliness will be broken as you find your place in God's Kingdom. The Crossroads Centre, P.O. Box 5100, Burlington, Ontario, Canada, L7R 4M2.
