Where Is God in My Loneliness?
When Loneliness Leaves You Alone
It's ironic, but loneliness accompanies us wherever we go. We might try to ignore it, turning on the TV, going for a night out, or, even more drastically, changing jobs, cities, friends, or spouses. But in the morning, there it is again. Loneliness can feel terrible.
Yet we can't escape the fact that it was God himself who put Adam in the Garden all alone. God allowed it so we would yearn for companionship. He allowed it so we could see that we need other people. We were designed for connectedness.

It is only in his company that loneliness leaves us alone.
