At one point or another, we all feel a sense of being lonely. This is very different from being alone. Some people enjoy the quiet that comes with being alone and embrace it...
Many of us, however, feel lonely even in a room full of people. Many times we feel that people just don't understand what we are going through. We may feel that there is no support system or that we have been abandoned by people who said they loved us. We take it personally when people appear too busy to care. We feel there is no where to turn...
The reality is that we are never truly alone. God is always there. Waiting for us to turn to him with our troubles. He already knows our heart and our problems. He is a patient God who will wait for us to ask for help. A prayer for those who are feeling lost and alone:
God, my loneliness and sorrow are overwhelming me. I am seeking companionship in the human form, but what I really need is You. I am desperate to feel Your arms around me. I need to hear you say, "It's going to be OK." I long to hear the words "I love you." Stay beside me today as I go about my business. Remind me of Your Presence and the wonderful gift you have given us in Your Son. AMEN
Matthew 28:20
