Navigating Lonely Relationships

I’ve been feeling really weighed down lately by the state of my friendships. It seems like the closer I try to get to people, the more distance I feel. There’s a close friend from college who I haven’t spoken to in over a year; we used to share everything. I reached out last month, but the conversation felt strained and awkward; I’m not sure how to bridge that gap. Honestly, it hurts to feel so alone in this big, busy world. I miss the connection we had and just don't know how to rebuild it. On top of that, I’ve been struggling with another friendship that's been rocky for a while now. There was a misunderstanding a couple of months ago, and while I believe we both want to move past it, neither of us seems willing to take the first step. It’s frustrating and leaves me unsure how to proceed. I just really want to feel supported and connected. If you could pray for guidance in these relationships and that I find the right words and courage to initiate healing, I would really appreciate it. I’m believing that with God’s help, we can restore what’s been broken.
