A Prayer About Loneliness

A prayer about Loneliness

When I feel alone

Heavenly Father,

I feel so alone right now. Some of my relationships have failed, and it doesn’t seem as if anyone understands me or cares about me. I want to give up on people altogether, but I know that will only cause me to feel sorry for myself and become even more discouraged. Father, I take comfort in the fact that you are always with me, even when I feel alone. Your Word tells me that you are thinking about me all the time! Help me to use this lonely time to rediscover your faithfulness—refresh me and fill my heart anew with hope and love. As you do, I know you will help me begin to reach out to others again. Cause me to take the focus off my lonely feelings and put it on another person’s well-being. When I do, my loneliness will ease. Give me the courage to put myself in places where I can get to know new people—and perhaps even serve you at the same time. Thank you for your presence with me.

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. Psalm 9:10
