Loneliness is a very real emotion that everyone deals with throughout life. Going through life changes can bring the feeling of loneliness to a persons’ life. There is good news though; as Christians, we are never alone. We can take comfort in knowing that we always have the Lord with us to rely on when times get tough and feel like you are alone. Here are 5 verses that I hope encourage you when you are struggling with feelings of loneliness.
1. Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
2. John 16:32-33 “Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take hear; I have overcome the world.”
3. Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; HE will never leave you nor forsake you.”
4. Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
5. Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
