John 14:18

How to Use These Verses
Write two or three of these verses on index cards or in a notes app on your phone, and keep them where you will see them during your loneliest hours. A bathroom mirror, a car dashboard, or the first screen you open each morning are all good places. Repetition helps the words move from the page into your memory, so they are available when the feeling returns.
Pray the verses instead of only reading them. Turn each one into a sentence addressed to God, such as “Lord, you are near to me right now,” and speak it aloud when you can. Praying them in the evening, the middle of the workday, and before sleep gives loneliness regular moments to be met by God’s presence.
A Short Prayer for when you feel alone
Lord, you know the quiet places in my heart where I feel unseen and far from anyone who understands. Thank you that you are never absent, and that your presence reaches into the rooms where I sit by myself. Help me notice you in the ordinary hours of this day, and give me courage to reach toward the people you have placed around me. Remind me that I am known by name and held in your love, even when I cannot feel it. Amen.
