The feeling of loneliness can creep in your mind, linger there, and make you wonder if you’re the only one who has ever felt this way. It can make you feel isolated and wonder if God — or anyone else — is there.  

But you’re not alone in those feelings. Many struggle with loneliness, including those in Scripture. God’s Word can remind us that He is always with us and there is light at the end of the tunnel.  

Let these Bible verses reassure you that you are seen, known, and loved by those around you and your Creator.
