Sis, You’re Not Alone – Scriptures for Lonely Seasons
Loneliness has a way of whispering that no one sees you, cares for you, or understands the weight you carry. I know because I’ve sat in that silence, wondering if God had forgotten about me. But the truth is—loneliness is not the absence of God’s presence; it’s often where His voice becomes clearest.
In these seasons, it’s not about rushing to fill the space with people or noise, but allowing God to fill it with Himself. Remember, He promised never to leave nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). Even when it feels like everyone else has stepped away, He hasn’t moved.
Here are some scriptures that have carried me through:
Psalm 34:18 – "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Loneliness may break your heart, but God draws nearer in those moments.Isaiah 41:10 – "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
His hand is steady even when yours feels empty.John 14:18 – "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
You are not abandoned. You are His child, fully known and fully loved.2 Timothy 4:16–17 – "At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength..."
Even Paul faced moments where human support failed—but God never did.Psalm 139:7–10 – "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? ... even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."
There’s no place too empty, too quiet, or too far for Him to find you.
Sis, if you’re in a lonely season, lean into Him. Talk to Him like He’s sitting right next to you—because He is. Don’t rush the process; let Him fill the gaps with His love, healing, and perspective. Sometimes, what feels like isolation is actually an invitation to intimacy with God.
