My Heavenly Father!

You know how lonely I am! I come to You as a broken vessel longing for some love, care or attention.

Master! You know what loneliness is, because You were despised and rejected by men when You were in this chaotic world. You were deserted by Your own people who did not even acknowledge You as Lord. O Lord! I come to You in such a state that I have no one to turn to but You! I know that You went through the agonizing path of loneliness so that I need not be lonely. I plead for Your comforting presence to fill this void in me! Stretch out Your loving hands and lift me out of the pit of loneliness.

You have assured that You will neither leave nor forsake me. So I cling to You Lord - let me derive strength, comfort and consolation from Your presence. Grant me Your abundant grace that I may rejoice with joy unspeakable.

I thank You for filling me with Your presence and removing this pain within me. You are always with me and I thank You for that. Continue to uphold me with Your righteous right hand. In Jesus’ Name, I pray.
Amen.

Jesus Calls Ministries

Lord God, I feel so alone. Everyone else seems busy and happy, with so many friends and hectic social lives. I spend another evening on my own. I don’t believe it was your plan for us to be alone.

Please give me confidence, Lord, and motivation, to speak to other people, to know what to say - I’m often tongue-tied. Please help me make friends. Help me to be willing to give, as well as receive. Give me the strength to step out in faith, trusting you, Lord God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

O God, I am lonely.
You know how depressed I get.
You know how time passes so slowly for me.
You know how at times I feel bitter and resentful.
O God, help me
to welcome those who offer friendship,
to look for those who need to be comforted,
so that in giving I might have no time for loneliness.
Thank you for promising
never to leave me alone,
that in quietness and rest
I shall find your strength. Amen
