To anyone who feels lonely even though they believe

Loneliness is confusing when you have faith. You start wondering if you’re doing something wrong—because shouldn’t belief fill this gap? David didn’t think so. That’s why he keeps saying, “How long, O Lord?” Not once. Not twice. Over and over. In Hebrew, the phrase signals prolonged isolation, not a bad day. David was surrounded by people, songs, rituals. And still, he felt alone enough to say it out loud to God. If faith hasn’t cured your loneliness, Scripture doesn’t accuse you. It agrees with you. And it gives you language so you don’t have to sit in that feeling by yourself. #LonelinessInFaith #Psalms #David #SpiritualIsolation #FaithAndEmotion

To anyone who feels lonely even though they believe in God

Loneliness didn’t come from unbelief. It came from feeling unseen—by people, and eventually, by God. That’s why I pay attention to how often David asks God to look at him. In the Psalms, this request appears again and again. The Hebrew verb suggests urgency, almost insistence. David isn’t asking for gifts. He’s asking for attention. The Bible doesn’t shame that need. It records it. Over and over. If faith hasn’t cured your loneliness, you’re not failing spiritually. Scripture never promised belief would erase isolation. It promised that loneliness could still be spoken—out loud, and preserved as prayer. #LonelinessInFaith #Psalms #David #ChristianLife #SpiritualIsolation

To anyone who feels lonely even in church

I was surrounded by people. And still felt unseen. Then I paid attention to David—not as king, but earlier. Before the crown, he keeps saying one thing in the Psalms: “Look at me.” The Hebrew verb implies urgency, not self-pity. It’s the cry of someone present, yet overlooked. The Bible never assumes community automatically heals loneliness. Even David felt isolated while worshiping among others. If church hasn’t cured your loneliness, you’re not broken. You’re experiencing something Scripture already understands—and names without shame. #LonelinessInFaith #Psalms #David #ChristianLife #SpiritualIsolation
