Prayer when feeling lonely

Lord Jesus,

I feel cut off. I feel terribly alone.


My family, friends, and teammates seem to be continents away from me.


These feelings are crushing my spirit and draining my soul.


Please visit me with Your comforting presence. 


I trust You for soul-restoring communion.


I trust You to lead me to life-giving community.


My lonely spirit takes refuge in the shadow of Your wings.


I pray in the name of Jesus, my compassionate Counselor,


Amen.
