Prayers for People who are Lonely

A Prayer for Loneliness

Lord of the wilderness, I know you often sought time alone, but in this season of my life, I’m just feeling really isolated and lonely. Friend, Jesus, I know that you are here with me, but it doesn’t always seem like it. Help me to use this time to seek you more intimately. But also, help me to find a community and companions to share my life with– my joys and my sufferings. While I wait, Lord, help me to not fear being alone, but to embrace a time to sit with you in quiet togetherness and learn to draw comfort from your presence. Amen.

Prayer Asking God for Help When the Reason for Loneliness Is Unknown

Father, I am lonely today. I’m not really sure where this feeling is coming from. I have tried to share my feelings with friends, but I feel like they don’t see or hear me. I have many great things happening in my life. You give me so many wonderful blessings and joys. Please hold me in Your loving arms. Help me to remember I am not alone and that You are always with me. Help me to shine Your love and light in all my words and actions. Thank You, Father, Amen.

Prayer for a Friend Who Is Lonely and Feels Unseen

Dear God, my friend is lonely. I have tried to provide comfort, but they say the loneliness is bringing them to a place of despair. They tell me that no one sees them; no one listens or tries to understand. Help me to be a beacon of light and to share Your love and glory. Please comfort my friend. Take their loneliness away and give them a happy spirit. Help them to know You see them. Please guide my friend to ask for help when needed. Thank You, Father, Amen.

Prayer for Remembering You Are Not Alone

Heavenly Father, I need You. I feel like no one understands what I am going through. I feel alone and unseen. My heart aches and I am filled with sadness. I am coming to You, dear Father, asking for Your comfort. I am praying for You to remind me that I am not alone. You see me. Even if I feel like no one else sees me or listens to me, I know You are with me. You are listening to my every thought, my every word. Fill me with Your presence and remind me that I am never alone. In the name of Your Son, Amen.

Prayer for When You Are Grieving and Feel Lonely

Father, I feel so alone. I am grieving. In the beginning of my grief, I was surrounded by friends, family, and strangers. Time has moved on and although I am still grieving, the people have stopped checking on me. The cards, letters, phone calls, and visits have almost stopped. I still need support from others. I feel like they don’t see me anymore. I know they have their own lives to handle. But, God, I am lonely. Please heal my broken heart (Revelations 21:4). Please help me to remember to reach out to You. Remind me to go to You first. I pray I will have a compassionate heart if anyone needs comforting. Thank You for being with me during this grieving period. I love You. Amen.

Prayer for When Everyone around You Is Rejoicing and You Feel Alone

Dear God, I come to You with a heavy heart. Everyone around me is celebrating and filled with joy. Good things are happening, and they have reason to be happy. Yet, I am sad to say I feel left out and alone. I’m thankful for the good news my friends have shared. I hope that I have shown my friends how happy I am for them. I don’t want to make them sad or to feel like I don’t care. But, God, my life is not filled with good news at this moment. I feel lonely and lost. Please, Father, would You take this burden of loneliness away from me? Will You help me remember Your Words about joy coming in the morning (Psalms 30:5)? Thank You for loving me. I am thankful to be Your child. Amen.

Prayer for When You Feel Lonely during the Holidays

Father, I hear joyful holiday music on the radio. I see TV shows filled with happy families as they create special memories. I wish I was not alone. I’m thankful other people can be happy. I sit here alone and am beginning to feel sorry for myself. Your Word shares how we are never alone (Romans 8: 38-39). Please bring joy back to me. Scripture tells us that Jesus experienced every human emotion. Help me remember I am Your child, too. Father, help me to show Your love to others. Guide me in ways to lift others up during the holidays, so they will know Your love and glory. Please forgive me for my sins. I pray I will use this time of feeling loneliness to draw closer to You in each moment. Thank You, Father, Amen.

Prayer for Loneliness While Wearing a Mask during the Pandemic

Father, I come to you with worry and concern. The world is experiencing a pandemic. As health care professionals try to find a cure, the public is given instructions on how to proceed with daily life during a pandemic. We are asked to wear masks. Father, I am worried that I might miss the true feelings of someone who may be lonely and that I can’t see their facial expressions due to the mask they are wearing. I want everyone to know they are seen. Yet, I wonder how many people are hiding their true feelings behind the mask. Father, I look into the eyes of family, friends, and strangers and hope they are well. I miss seeing smiles and watching the changing facial expressions in joyful moments. I pray that people are not hiding their loneliness behind the mask. I pray everyone will share their feelings about loneliness. I pray everyone will know they can go to You and find comfort and peace. Please remind everyone to show Your love in all words and actions. Thank You, Father, Amen.

A Morning Prayer About Being Alone

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.

A Prayer for When You Are Lonely

Dearest Father,
Thank you that although I may feel alone at times, I’m not really alone because you are with me. The Bible says, ‘God is Spirit’ and ‘God is love,’ and so I can trust in your unseen presence and the joy of your grace for me. You love me, and I am content. Help me to overcome these battles in my mind and give me strength in self-discipline so that I grow in you as I read your Word and spend time in prayer each day. Help me to not feel sorry for myself but instead to reach out to others in your name. My needs are met in you alone – so help me to help others for your sake.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
