Encouragement for the lonely

Believers and non-believers alike can suffer from loneliness even though believers know they are never alone, that the Holy Spirit lives within them, and that God will never leave them, nor forsake them. Non-believers may feel an emptiness in their soul and maybe that's their heart telling them that they need to seek God.
No matter what the circumstance is, it's easy to have a short period of feeling alone and then that turn into depression, which can take away one's desire to interact with others. Together all of these feelings can leave one anxious and socially paralyzed. That's why I think it's important to also pray that the person seeks God and be guided by Him to heal and to feel good about their self so they can face their circumstances and have the strength to do something about it. We can't (or at least, shouldn't) live in isolation, and God doesn't want us to. He created us have relationships with one another, to fellowship. He will help us develop those relationships if we ask.

Some bible verses that remind us of God's love and presence:
1 John 1:7 (NKJV)
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

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.

James 4:8a (NKJV)
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Isaiah 58:11 (NKJV)
The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
