Lord, I am lonely. Not just alone — lonely in a way that aches, the sense that no one really sees me or would even notice if I went quiet for a week. Your word makes me a promise I want to lean my whole weight on: that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Be present company in the empty evenings and the silent phone. I am not asking You to be a replacement for real human connection; I am asking You to hold me in the meantime, and to help me find my way back toward people. Soften the fear that keeps me from reaching out first. Show me the small, brave steps — the message I could send, the group I could try, the honesty that lets someone closer. And where loneliness has convinced me I am a burden no one wants, quietly tell me otherwise. You are with me even now, in this quiet room, Lord. Help me believe it, and help me not stay alone. Amen.
A prayer for you
