Title: Lonely Hearts: A Biblical Devotional on Overcoming Loneliness.

-


"God sets the lonely in families…" (Psalm 68:6, NIV) 

Understanding Loneliness - Loneliness is a deeply human experience, but it’s not one we have to endure alone. The Bible reminds us that God is always with us: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). When you feel isolated, remember that His presence is constant, even in the silence.  
 Prayer:Lord, when I feel alone, remind me that You are near. Help me find peace in Your presence.  
David found Comfort in God -  David, in his loneliest moments, turned to God: “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted” (Psalm 25:16). If loneliness weighs on your heart, lean into God through prayer and worship.  
Spend time in prayer or worship today, allowing God’s love to fill the empty spaces in your heart.  
Exploit the Power of Community:  God designed us for connection. “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Seek fellowship through church, friendships, or family.  
Who are the people God has placed in your life for encouragement? Reach out to them today.  
Build Healthy Relationships - Jesus emphasized love and compassion: “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34). Strong relationships require effort, trust, and Christ-like love.  
Be intentional in cultivating friendships. Take a step to strengthen a relationship today.
Hope for a better future - Loneliness is not permanent. God’s plans for you include joy and companionship. “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).  
Keep trusting God’s timing. A season of loneliness can lead to deeper faith, stronger relationships, and unexpected blessings.  

Closing Prayer: Lord, I give You my loneliness. Fill my heart with Your love and surround me with the right people. Help me walk in faith, knowing You have beautiful plans for me.  

May this devotional bring encouragement to your heart. You're never truly alone—God walks with you.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
