Prayer for Lonely People

Reflect

Not everybody craves constant human interaction. Some thrive within togetherness; others do not. Where do you fall in this? Do you ever battle loneliness? If so, this prayer is for you.


Pray

Dear God,
I appreciate the quiet because I can hear your voice,
but I long for connection with others too.
Give me the peace to look for those when I am lonely.
Grant that I may find comfort in others
and give comfort to them.
Where there is love,
there is you.
Amen.


Act

Share this prayer with somebody who needs a prayerful word. A simple message can remind a person that he or she is never alone.

  1. Mike Reininger

    Even if a person is alone, that doesn’t mean they can’t be their own best friend. I think the people who have the most difficult time being alone are those that don’t like themselves. So, the solution to loneliness is to learn to like oneself, problem solved.

  2. “loneliness is the leprosy of the modern age” – Mother Teresa. I have been a leper but Christ has stretched out His strong right hand and lifted me up taking me along as He burst forth from the tomb as a phoenix from the ashes and I know His touch and He knows mine.
