Loneliness - Turn to God

From The Jesuit Singapore Website
Being Day 3 of Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Scripture:‘Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find’ (Lk.11:9).

Meditation: The greatest pain in any relationship is the pain of loveless silence. If our feelings are not acknowledged, if our needs are not recognised, if our voice is not heard, if our opinions are not regarded as important, we are in danger of being condemned to a life of loneliness and of being left feeling worthless. Jesus urges us to talk to him in prayer and he commits himself to listen. He cares for us; he hears our cries for help; and, sooner or later, he always responds in the best way for us. All we need is the patience to wait .

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for being there for me. I know that you listen. I know that you understand. Calm my fearful heart and let me know that you are close. Even a word will do. Or a touch of your hand. Or a glimpse of your face. Just some little sign of your presence.
