As I was preparing for this a friend texted me and told me about their loneliness. It is the second time I hear this word today.
With the virus keeping us distant and the fires keeping us inside, loneliness might be the new illness of the era!

I recall the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 25, “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.” (16) These words definitely resonate with me as well. Social distancing is not only an oxymoron but is also counter-intuitive.
I wish I had an answer or a solution; I don’t! But I leave us to contemplate on the words of the Psalm:

My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only God will release my feet from the snare.  16Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.  17 Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. 18 Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.  19 See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me!  20 Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.  21 May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.
