Loneliness is a universal human phenomenon. Sooner or later we all experience it. Just as the body expresses its need for food through hunger, so the soul expresses its need for relationships through feelings of loneliness. Relationships are to the soul what breath is to the body; without them we cannot truly experience life.

“Two are better than one…If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”

— Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, don’t let us wallow in our loneliness. Instead let it motivate us to reach out to others who may be just as lonely as we are. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
