Being alone is not always a bad thing. However, that’s different from being isolated. Pope Francis reminds us that Christians are called to “live the faith, not individually or in isolation but in community, as a people loved and willed by God.” Still, it’s easy to feel lonely or isolated. Maybe you’ve moved to a new city and are struggling to make friends. Or perhaps you’re going through a breakup and feeling as if you lost someone you can confide in and trust. Spending time with Scripture can remind us that even when we are battling loneliness, God is with us, wrapping His loving arms around us. Invite the Holy Spirit into your heart with these Bible verses for loneliness.
