5 Bible Verses to Read When You’re Feeling Lonely

Loneliness can slip into our hearts quietly—sometimes in an empty room, sometimes even in a crowded one. It can leave us feeling unseen, forgotten, or unloved. But God’s Word reminds us that we are never truly alone. He is with us in every season, in every place, and in every emotion we carry. When loneliness feels overwhelming, here are five Scriptures to hold onto as reminders of His nearness.


1. Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

No matter who walks away, God’s promise stands firm—He will never abandon you. His faithful presence is your strength.


2. Psalm 23:4

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

In the darkest valleys, God is not far off. He walks beside you, comforting and guiding with His steady hand.


3. Isaiah 41:10

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Loneliness may weaken your spirit, but God promises to lift you up and carry you with His strength.


4. Matthew 28:20

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Jesus Himself assures us that His presence is unbroken—from this very moment until eternity. You are never without Him.


5. Psalm 68:6

“God sets the lonely in families; he leads out the prisoners with singing.”

God cares deeply about your need for belonging. He places you in community and surrounds you with His family of love.


Friend, loneliness may whisper that you are forgotten, but Scripture declares that you are loved, chosen, and held by God. His presence is closer than your breath, His arms wider than your pain.

When loneliness weighs on your heart, read these verses aloud. Let them remind you that the God who formed you also walks with you. You are never truly alone—He is always with you, and His love will never let you go.
