We don't need to be physically on our own to feel lonely. Many of us may have experienced some of our loneliest times when we were literally surrounded by others. Equally, we have the ability to feel immensely connected and part of something during periods of physical solitude. During times of loneliness we can feel outcast, rejected and extremely isolated. But throughout all of this, God is still with us.
If you're feeling lonely, try and remember that you are never truly alone. Here are 11 Bible verses which show us that God is always with us.
