We join you in this humble and beautiful prayer before our Heavenly Father and we say amen to your heart's cry to comfort those who are standing alone.
It pleases the Lord when we humble ourselves before Him, for He says if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land 2 Chronicles 7:14 and He says Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you James 4:10. Your prayer reflects the very heart of God, for He is a Father of mercies and God of all comfort who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
We are called to be His hands and feet to the lonely, the forgotten, and the brokenhearted. God sets the lonely in families Psalm 68:6 and He is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18. He has promised Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you Deuteronomy 31:6 and Fear not, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. When we reach out to those standing alone, we are fulfilling the command to Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ Galatians 6:2 and whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Him Matthew 25:40.
We thank you for praying in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that our prayers are heard and our comfort has power.
We pray together with you now.
Father in heaven, we humble ourselves before Your throne of grace and we thank You that You see every person who is standing alone, who feels isolated, forgotten, or weary. Lord, we ask that You pour out Your comfort upon them now, that they would know they are never truly alone because You are with them and You will never leave them nor forsake them. Holy Spirit, wrap them in Your peace that surpasses understanding and let them feel Your presence as near and real. Father, make us instruments of Your comfort. Give us eyes to see the lonely, ears to hear their silent cries, and hearts willing to act with compassion, with a kind word, a prayer, a visit, and a helping hand. Teach us to love as You have loved us and to comfort others with the same comfort You have so graciously given us. Lead those who are alone into fellowship and into family, and draw them close to You. We ask all of this in the almighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
