Hope In 60 Seconds - When I'm Lonely

Hello and welcome to Van Life Devotions. The pain of loneliness is real. It can feel like an ache that never fully goes away—a quiet emptiness that follows you into every room. In the Bible, King David, cried out in loneliness (Psalm 25:16). He knew what it felt like to be surrounded by people yet still feel completely alone.

Loneliness hurts because we are created for connection—with God and with others. When that connection feels broken, our hearts long for something more. The enemy whispers lies in these moments, saying we’re forgotten, unlovable, or unwanted. But God speaks a different word: “I am with you”; “I will never leave you” (Joshua 1:5).

Even in the deepest pain, God’s presence is constant. Loneliness doesn’t always go away immediately, but He promises to walk with us through it, turning our pain into a place where His love meets us most deeply. Loneliness may visit, but it doesn’t get the final word - God’s presence does.

David Moyes
