A Prayer to Discover Belonging When You are Feeling Alone
By Emma Danzey

“So don’t concern, for I’m with you; don’t be dismayed, for I’m your God. I’ll strengthen you and enable you to; I’ll uphold you with my righteous proper hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

Do you’re feeling lonely? Have you ever satisfied your self that you’re on their lonesome? The reality is that God is at all times with us, so we’re by no means actually alone. Nonetheless, our circumstances and our mindsets may cause us to really feel remoted, misunderstood, and unseen. Many individuals within the Bible skilled loneliness: Joseph, Hagar, Elijah, the Samaritan Girl, John, and extra. Nonetheless, God noticed them, He cared for them, and He offered for them. 

Immediately, we’re going to pray by a prayer to search out belonging if you’re feeling alone. At the beginning, I wish to share that belonging is just actually present in our identification in Christ. He offers us a real sense of safety in Him. He created us, He is aware of us, and He has set us free. Secondly, once we stay out of that confidence in Him, we will take steps into the neighborhood that He has referred to as us to. 

Mark 12:30-31 shares, “‘Love the Lord your God with all of your coronary heart and with all of your soul and with all of your thoughts and with all of your energy.’ The second is that this: ‘Love your neighbor as your self.’ There isn’t a commandment higher than these.” 

Loving God implies that we’ve a relationship with Him. Loving individuals implies that we’ve relationships with them. Perhaps you feel alone, however you aren’t placing your self on the market to make a neighborhood. It may be an intimidating factor. Nonetheless, we’re invited to speculate our lives in relationships with different believers and be associates with unbelievers, too. Take into consideration methods you will get extra concerned in your native church physique. Check out a exercise class. Be part of a Bible Examine. Go to a mother’s group. Ask that one new buddy to espresso. Initiative takes braveness, however it may be an excellent antidote for loneliness. 

Most significantly, get within the Bible every day and search God in prayer. He’s at all times with us and wanting that relationship. Seeking to Him teaches us that we’re by no means actually alone. I met a girl simply the opposite day who’s a lonely widow. We had the chance to hope in the midst of an aisle in Walmart. You by no means know who’s round you. I gave her my quantity, and we’ve related since. Even when you don’t really feel lonely proper now, there are individuals round you who have to belong. Be daring to share Christ’s love in recognizing them and praying for and with them.

Let’s pray:

El Roi, You’re the God who Sees Us,
We’re humbled that we’re not unnoticed by You. Thank You that you’re with us at all times. Thank You that whether or not we really feel alone or well-connected with others that You take care of our wants. We reward You for giving us the identification of being adopted into Your loved ones, being associates of You, and being your bride because the Church. We aren’t alone. You’re at all times with us, and we acknowledge that and declare that promise as we speak. Thank You for the neighborhood round me that I’ve not acquired but. Would you give me braveness by Your Holy Spirit to introduce myself to 1 particular person or be part of a bunch to get to know others? Assist me overcome my insecurities or fears that forestall me from loving others.

Thank You that You present all of our wants. Thank You that You relate to me in each means, even in loneliness. Assist me to be empowered by your Spirit to beat the fiery darts of the enemy’s lies along with your reality. I’m who You say I’m. I’m your little one, your buddy, your loved one. I belong to You. Assist me to see others as You see them. Might I’ve eyes to note the wants of these round me.
