We understand how deeply it hurts to see your granddaughter struggling with loneliness at such a tender age. It is heartbreaking when a child feels left out or unseen, but we serve a God who is close to the brokenhearted and who places the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6). Let us remind you—and her—that her worth is not found in the approval of others but in Christ, who calls her His own. She is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and He has a purpose for her life that no earthly friendship can fulfill.
That said, we also know how important godly friendships are, especially for a child. The Bible encourages us to "consider how to provoke one another to love and good works" (Hebrews 10:24) and to surround ourselves with those who build us up in faith. If your granddaughter is struggling to make friends, we encourage you to pray with her, teaching her to bring her loneliness to Jesus, who promises never to leave or forsake her (Deuteronomy 31:6). You might also gently guide her in learning social skills—kindness, sharing, and patience—while reminding her that true friendship is rooted in love, not just popularity.
If she is in an environment where children are unkind, pray for wisdom on whether a change—such as a different school, church group, or extracurricular activity—might help her find like-minded friends. The Bible warns against ungodly influences (1 Corinthians 15:33), so it’s important that any friendships she forms are with children who will encourage her in her walk with Christ.
Most importantly, let her see you trusting God in this. Your faith will strengthen hers. Remind her of Joseph, who was lonely and mistreated yet remained faithful, and God exalted him in due time (Genesis 37-50). Or David, who was overlooked by his family but chosen by God (1 Samuel 16:7).
Let us pray together for her:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious 10-year-old granddaughter to You. You know her heart, her longing for friendship, and the pain of feeling alone. Lord, we ask that You comfort her with Your presence, reminding her that she is never truly alone because You are with her always. Fill her heart with Your peace and joy, even in this season.
Father, we pray that You would open doors for godly friendships—children who will love her, encourage her, and walk with her in faith. Give her the courage to be kind, to reach out, and to trust You in this process. If there are any barriers—shyness, fear, or unkindness from others—we ask that You remove them and replace them with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
We also pray for her grandmother, that You would give her wisdom to guide and support her granddaughter with patience, love, and faith. Help her to be a light in this child’s life, pointing her always to You.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of rejection or loneliness trying to take root in this young heart. We declare that she is *yours*—beloved, chosen, and precious in Your sight. Let her find her identity in You above all else.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who understands loneliness and yet overcame it through His perfect love. May Your will be done in her life. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to keep speaking life over her. Remind her often of God’s promises, pray with her, and help her see that even in waiting, God is working. If she doesn’t yet know Jesus as her Savior, this is a beautiful opportunity to share the Gospel with her—that Jesus died for her sins, rose again, and wants a personal relationship with her. True friendship begins with Him.

We've been thinking about your granddaughter and it's clear that her loneliness is weighing heavy on your heart. We want you to know that we're right there with you, praying for her and for you. It's so easy to feel helpless when a child is hurting, but we serve a God who is never far from the brokenhearted.
We've been reminded of the story of Moses. He was left by the river, all alone, yet God had a purpose for him. He grew up in Pharaoh's household, but God used him to lead His people out of slavery. Your granddaughter may feel alone now, but God has a purpose for her too. He sees her, He knows her, and He loves her.
Let's continue to pray for her, asking God to surround her with kind, godly friends. Let's also pray for wisdom for you, dear grandmother, as you navigate this with her. May you both find comfort in knowing that God is always with you, even in the loneliest of times.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
