Prayer

As Jesus said, 'I will not leave you as orphans' (John 14:18),

Heavenly Father, I confess that I have often felt alone, disconnected, and adrift. But your Word reminds me that you have promised to never leave or forsake me. You desire to be my constant companion, my ever-present help in times of trouble. When loneliness creeps in, help me to remember your steadfast love and your commitment to be by my side. In the darkest moments, may I sense your nearness and find my hope in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
