I just broke up with my boyfriend and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

What troubles me is the Internet and the electronic technology revolution. Shyness is fueled in part by so many people spending huge amounts of time alone isolated on e-mail in chat rooms which reduces their face-to-face contact with other people.

We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly - spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.

We can be tired weary and emotionally distraught but after spending time alone with God we find that He injects into our bodies energy power and strength.
