A Psalms Prayer Pocket for when you are: LONELY
\nO Lord, You have searched me and known me, You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off, You comprehend my path and my lying down And are acquainted with all my ways.<\/em> Psalm 139:1-3 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s verse pretty much says it all, that the Lord knows us inside and out.\u00a0 There is nothing hidden from Him.
\nHe has searched me. He knows me.\u00a0 He knows when I sit down and when I rise up.\u00a0 He understands my thoughts.\u00a0 He comprehends my path.\u00a0 He sees me when I lay down.\u00a0 He knows all my ways, day and night.
\nFor Him to know all that He would have to be right by me all the time, wouldn’t He?\u00a0 I guess when He says He will never leave me nor forsake me I should believe it, right? And when He says He has put His Holy Spirit within me to lead and guide me, I really should believe it shouldn’t I?\u00a0 Yes, definitely, because, if I believe His words then there is no reason for me to feel lonely or alone, because I never am.<\/p>\n

Pocket Prayer:
\nDear Lord, today I am Lonely because_________________________________________. (tell the Lord why you are feeling lonely today)<\/p>\n

Oh Lord, your word tells me that I need not be lonely because You are always with me. You know me. You know all my actions and understand all my thoughts. You are familiar with everything I do. You are near to me as I wake, as I sleep, and as I go about my day. Your Holy Spirit is within me to comfort me, lead me and guide me.
\nSo, I need not ever feel lonely because I have You right here beside me and within me!\u00a0 I am never alone!
\nThank You for reminding me of that Lord. I will go forth feeling secure that Your hand is upon me, Your Spirit is within me, and that I am never alone.<\/p>\n

You have hedged me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me.<\/em> Psalm 139:5 (NKJV)<\/p>\n
