a variety of real world situations has hit me all at once...some I can share now, some I can not based on confidentiality of family members. But to sum it up, I feel very alone even within the fellowship of Bros and Sis' in Christ, not for any real reason I can think of. Depressed is not the word I would necessarily use, but getting hit by waves of loneliness, despair, failure. Maybe it is my thought that unconditional love should be the norm, even in this fallen world, and realizing that is very rare? Maybe it is my own heart that needs revival both in seeking the Lord, transforming me and my attitude about things, and being more bold about both my walk and the ways of the Lord? Maybe just the way I was created so that God can get my attention about things, or make me more reliant on Him? Maybe it is seeing loved ones torn apart by different circumstances, and in some cases torn apart from me, and realizing that in some cases I can't help them by myself, if at all, although I desire to be a help or comfort in some way?
Anyway, my needs are small compared to others (that is the humble and self-deprecating side of me that feels that), but I do want prayer and feel I deserve it just like any other believer. If you would think about sending God in Christ a prayer about my situation when time and thought permits, that would be appreciated. Thanks.
Prayer please...

You are never alone.
I have noticed in some of my friendships that, even though they go to church on a regular basis or have a desire to be closer with God, they aren't the type of friends you need to be around all the time.
I really love the time I spend with my friends who are a step above that.
Those who are firm in their walk, those who encourage you and exhort you to take that next step.
They may not be the people you are with all the time, but they sure lift you up and draw you to Jesus Christ.
