Help Lord I Am Lonely

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.Psalm 147:3

Do you ever have days you feel lonely and isolated even after our shutdown due to pandemic fears? There is a saying “if you want to be a friend show yourself friendly” but also remember to push back from those in your life who have made it crystal clear they want nothing to do with you.

If your heart is hurting today first get out and turn on some praise music I included one at the end of this devotion. Pray for your enemies and anyone in your life who has hurt you. Don’t try to be someone you aren’t to win a friend.

Above all keep running your race to win. Think of the ‘ultimate lonely’ of a man or woman in prison and if your heart is touched ,see if you can get a letter writing ministry started at your church, similar to my former church Church of the Highlands, called Letters of Hope. Everyone needs relationships. God did not make us to be alone as it says in Genesis referring to Adam and Eve. Find community and let your light shine for Jesus and pray for those who are unkind or hurtful to you that the Holy Spirit could infiltrate their lives.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus help me remember there is always someone who is in a worse place than I am. Give me creative ideas to share love with the unloveable. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
