A simple prayer is all it takes to connect with God every day. And if you donโt know how to pray, no worries! Weโve got you covered. Check out this simple prayer below to get started!ย
I Feel Like Iโm All Alone
There are times in life when you looong for peace and quiet. When youโre working on a huge project. After a giant family gathering. When youโre constantly being interrupted while trying to finish up something. Time alone is like drinking from a fresh springโ rejuvenating, life-giving. Itโs strange how alone time can start to feel so different, so quickly.
You begin to long for the presence of others instead. Or, even worseโ maybe you are around other people, but youโre still left feeling disconnected and discouraged.
Adult relationships are no longer as simple as becoming bffs with someone on the playground just because you like their light-up shoesโ though, wouldnโt that be nice (still being able to wear light-up shoes, I mean)? (or, even better, Heelys.)
Time alone can be used to draw nearer to the one who created youโ who knows you better than any other. Who wants nothing more than to be closer to you. But, itโs still okay to tell him whatโs on your heart and to ask him to provide the friendships you desire.
If youโre in a season of loneliness, hereโs a prayer to ask God to walk alongside you through this time, but also to send some chums your way!
โAnd surely I am with you always, to the very end of the ageโ (Matt 28:20b).
A Prayer for Loneliness
Lord of the wilderness, I know you often sought time alone, but in this season of my life, Iโm just feeling really isolated and lonely. Friend, Jesus, I know that you are here with me, but it doesnโt always seem like it. Help me to use this time to seek you more intimately. But also, help me to find a community and companions to share my life withโ my joys and my sufferings. While I wait, Lord, help me to not fear being alone, but to embrace a time to sit with you in quiet togetherness and learn to draw comfort from your presence. Amen.
