Prayers for Loneliness
Loneliness can come after a move, a breakup or a death, or it can come in a full house where no one really sees you. It's one of the most common prayer requests we receive.
God's answer to loneliness begins with presence: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." These prayers bring the empty feeling to Him and ask Him to send real people too. Below are King James verses for when you feel alone.
God,
I feel alone tonight. The phone is quiet and the evenings are long. You said You would never leave me nor forsake me, so I'm holding You to it. Be close enough to feel. Heal what's making me pull away from people. Send me a friend, a church family, a neighbor who notices. And show me someone else who is lonely, so I can be the friend I'm praying for.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
