So I started a journal last year for my boyfriend at the time; just writing notes, prayers, ideas, memories, or whatever else I felt like writing down. I made pages for different moods and feelings that included scriptures to turn to and a prayer. After the break-up I saved those pages, because really it was nice to have around for myself. So I have decided to begin sharing those pages. The first one is for the days you feel alone in the world and need a reminder from God.Â
Scriptures:
Isaiah 41:10
Psalm 23:4
Hebrew 13:5
Deuteronomy 31:6
1 Samuel 12:22
1 Peter 5:7
Psalm 91:15
Isaiah 43:1-5
Matthew 28:20

Prayer:
Dear God, help me to feel your presence. My heart aches, I feel so alone. I miss a meaningful human touch, someone to take my hand or give me a hug. I long for someone to tell me everything will be alright. Please send your comforter to me and take this loneliness away. Better yet, let me hear your voice again. I need to be reminded of your presence and your glory, Lord. Help me, instead of feeling empty, to feel full of the love you have for me. Help me to know you in my heart and remember that, according to your word, I am never alone because you are always with me.
-Amen
