Loneliness is an epidemic. A recent survey catalogued the ten loneliest countries in the world and included Brazil, Kenya and The United States in the ranks. Loneliness isn’t a new experience nor one unique to our modern era. The Bible tracks loneliness through the ages. And yet, God bends into our loneliness with a revolutionary promise to be with us. How can we understand our own loneliness – and how can we embrace God’s antidote for this condition – his invitation into ongoing relationship with Himself? First, we’ll focus on the pain of loneliness – acknowledging how very real the experience is for us all. And then we’ll look at God’s presence, provision, protection, purpose and promise in our loneliness and discover that even in our loneliness, we are never really alone.
