Lonely
Scriptures:
Turn to me, God, and have mercy on me because I’m alone and suffering (Psalm 25:16 CEB)
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39 ESV)
Even if my mother and father leave me, the Lord will take me in (Psalm 27:10 ERV)
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing (Psalm 68:6 NIV)

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10 NKJV)
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27 NIV)
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 NIV)
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3 NKJV)
For I will heal you. I will heal you where you have been hurt, says the Lord (Jeremiah 30:17 NLV)
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you (John 15:15 NIV)
And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20 NET)
Quotes:
Christ understands loneliness; He’s been through it (Paul S. Rees)
If you feel so lonely you could cry, take the focus off yourself. Think of how much God loves you, and find another person whom you can serve today (David Jeremiah)
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days – when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you are out of options, when the pain is great – and you turn to God alone (Rick Warren)
