A PRAYER FOR LONELINESS

Lord,
I turn to You as my source of strength when I feel so alone. I think of Christ and know that the loneliness He felt in Gethsemane and on the cross must have been far greater than I feel now. Still, I find my feelings difficult to bear.
Thank You for being so accessible and understanding. Help me to overcome my isolation and to reach out to others once again.
In Christ’s name, Amen.


Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry for help come to you. Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; When I call, answer me quickly.

Psalm 102:1-2 (NIV)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

II Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV)
