Loneliness
Loneliness in Scripture is the cry of the isolated, the widow, the outcast, and the misunderstood — from Hagar in the wilderness to David in the caves to Elijah after Carmel to Paul in the Mamertine. The Bible does not promise the removal of loneliness but the presence of the God who sees (El Roi, Genesis 16:13). The solitary are set in families (Psalm 68:6), and the Lord stands with those whom others forsake.
