Prayer To Understand Loneliness In Others

Loving Father, for the first time in my life I myself am really feeling lonely and it is a hard thing to face. Lord, I begin to understand that there are many lonely people, many hurting people in the world today. Many who are putting on a pretence of being happy and yet they are crying out for the companionship of someone who really cares. Lord, I am starting to get an understanding and compassion for those that are lonely. Help me to understand that there are many lonely people in the world, and I pray that You would draw close to all who are facing loneliness today. Lord, You are the only One Who can truly fill the aching void in the lives of lonely people. So I bring each one to You, and pray that Your Holy Spirit would touch hearts that are lonely and bind up their brokenness. Lord, draw many into a closer walk with Yourself. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
