A Prayer for the Lonely

Recently, life has had its full share of ups and downs. Some very exciting developments for the future have come to fruition.  Yet, many frustrations with the job search and being alone most days while Laura is at work have weighed heavily on my heart.  Today, I was reading through Psalm 25 and found some verses that were both encouraging and convicting. I can only hope that these verses might inspire you as well. Amen.

 16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
   for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
   free me from my anguish.
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
   and take away all my sins.
19 See how my enemies have increased
   and how fiercely they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me;
   let me not be put to shame,
   for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
   because my hope is in you.

Psalm 25:16-21
