A Prayer for Loneliness
You were made for belonging. If you feel alone tonight, know that God sees you, and His family has room for you.
Lord, I feel unseen and far from everyone.
Remind me that You are with me and that I am Yours.
Lead me to people who will know me and walk with me.
Fill the empty places with Your nearness.
Let me not walk alone. Amen.
“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.”
Psalm 68:6
You don’t have to pray alone
On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions people ask
What Scripture is a prayer for loneliness built on?
It rests on Psalm 68:6. The prayer above is written in plain words around that passage, and the verse is quoted from the stored text, not from memory.
What if I have no words to pray for loneliness?
Start with the first line of the prayer above and stop there if that is all you can say. God hears the first honest sentence. You can also ask the family of God on The Living Bread to pray with you and for you.
Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Change the first person to their name and pray the same lines for them. Praying for others is part of loving one another, and you can ask the family of God to join you.
Pray this
Lord Jesus, you see Loneliness and you know every person there by name. We bring you loneliness, a friend, peace. Make us people who love one another there. In the name of Jesus, amen.
