For When Loneliness Hits at 2am
By the Pace with Grace editorial team
Key Verse · Psalm 25:16 (NIV)
“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.”
Loneliness has a specific texture at 2am. It's not really about people. It's about the silence under everything.
David, king of Israel, surrounded by an army, husband, father, wrote this:
“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.”
He had everything. He still had this. The Bible refused to edit it out.
If you're alone right now and the room is loud with quiet, you're allowed to pray exactly this. 'I am lonely.' That's it. That's the whole prayer. It's biblical.
