Loneliness

"I am convinced that . . . neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:39-39

You don't have to be alone to feel lonely. It's all about how you are connecting with those around you. Perhaps you are in a place in your life where you feel no one understands you and no one cares. This time in your life probably won't last long. You will make connections and the loneliness will pass, but until it does, remember that God has promised to always be there for you -- to listen, to comfort, to encourage. He's as close as your prayer.


Loving God, there are times in each life when there is no one. No one with whom to share a word, a laugh or a tear. Bless each one who suffers from such loneliness. Enrich life with a friend or gentle stranger who will spend a moment noticing and loving. In those times your love shines through, and Christ is known. In Your Name we pray, Amen.


Find someone who is lonely and give them a smile or a conversation.
Blessings on your day,
