Loneliness

Single, far from home, or alone in a crowd

God setteth the solitary in families.

Psalm 68:6 · King James Version

Lord, I am not in crisis. I am just alone, and it has gone on a long time, and I do not know who to say that to.

Declarations

Say these out loud. Not to convince God — to remind yourself what is true when your feelings are arguing.

Father, use this season. Do not let it be wasted. But please do not let it be permanent.

Pray, and also act. Pray, and also go where people are. Turn up to the same place three weeks running — belonging is built by repetition, not by one good conversation. Invite someone before you feel ready.
