Devotional Text: Romans 8:38-39 What does it mean to feel lonely? Itâs more than actually being alone. Itâs a sadness when we feel that no one is with us. Itâs the sense that no one cares; that we are in it alone. We all feel this way at various times of our lives, especially when we lose someone or experience a broken relationship. The loss of a job, a place to live, even moving to a new place where we donât know anyone â all these circumstances can lead to feelings of isolation, bringing on sadness in our spirit.
