Summary
In a season of loneliness? Take comfort in the stories of other women who share their own honest experiences of feeling isolated, struggling to find friends, and still finding a meaningful way through.
With the current crisis of loneliness and lack of friendships in today's culture, this 90-day devotional offers both lived perspective and attainable promise for how to find community and friends.
Compiled by beloved author, Kristen Strong, who offers her two decades of experience as a constantly relocating military spouse and one decade as a settled civilian to address head on the rising pain point facing women today in startling numbers: an acute loneliness and isolation due to a lack of friends.
Praying Through Loneliness is a compilation of stories from many women in all stages of life written to let you know that you are:
- Not alone in your sadness, frustration, or sense of rejection
- Not alone when you feel jealous of other women's friendships
- Not alone in the pain of a friendship breakup
- Not alone when you want to give up trying to connect again
- Not alone in your need to know that the Lord sees you in your loneliness, has a purpose for you during it, and won't abandon you as you walk through it
Praying Through Loneliness doesn't skip over the sadness and hardship loneliness brings. It doesn't offer trite advice or give spiritual formulas to shortcut the slow work of friendship. Instead, it offers an empathetic and hopeful accompaniment in the dark night you are walking through.
Each daily devotional includes:
- Scripture verse
- Vulnerable story where questions and regret are seen through the eyes of Jesus who is always walking beside you
- Hopeful message
- Meaningful prayer references for encouragement
Spend the next 90 days with come-alongside friends and the God who has said from the beginning that it is not good for us to be alone; let them lift your burden of loneliness.
