I’m what I now know is called an introverted extrovert. Though I get my energy from people, I’m not one to quickly meet new people or make myself comfortable in a crowd. That can lead to my often feeling alone. And sometimes my loneliness comes from feeling left out. In the second half of Matthew 28:20 Jesus says, “and, lo, I am with you always.” Keep that verse in mind as you pray this morning prayer about being alone. I hope it will help you start your day secure in God’s love.
Lord, as I begin this day, I thank you for your constant presence in my life. Even when I feel like no one understands me or that I am all by myself, I know that you are there with open arms to comfort me.
Help me to remember that being alone does not mean that I am lonely. Sometimes, it is in these moments of quiet that I can hear your voice the clearest. Help me to embrace the stillness and find solace in your loving presence.
Lord, I pray that you will guide me throughout this day. Give me the strength to face any challenges that come my way, and the wisdom to make the right decisions. Help me to be a light to those around me who may be feeling lost or alone.
As I go about my day, let your Word be my anchor. In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, let me hold fast to the promises found within its pages. Remind me that you are always with me, and that nothing can separate me from your love.
So, Lord, I give this day to you. Guide me, protect me, and help me to remember that I am never truly alone. Thank you for your faithfulness and for your constant presence in my life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
