As people of faith, we turn to the Bible and look for Bible verses about loneliness. We also search for stories of loneliness in the Bible that can give us hope and remind us that we are not alone.
Some examples of Bible characters who experienced loneliness include Elijah, who felt isolated and alone after his victory against the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 19:1-18), and Joseph, who endured years of separation from his family while in slavery and prison (Genesis 37-50).
Feb 8, 2007 · God wanted his lonely life to be an object lesson for what would soon happen to the whole nation. Talk about isolation and loneliness! There was no safe place, humanly speaking, for Jeremiah to be loved, encouraged, and accepted.

Jesus humbled himself to be “born in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:7). We have little ability to comprehend just how much this cost him. He experienced both the absence of his Father and human rejection at levels we can scarcely begin to imagine. When I say that Jesus experienced the absence of his Father, I don’t mean that he didn’t enjoy sp...
Now, imagine what living in this world was like for him. Jesus was without sin (Hebrews 4:15). We might think this sounds like a pleasant problem to have. I doubt it was only pleasant.

His brothers and sisters (Matthew 13:55–56) would have grown increasingly s...
But that was all a precursor. There was a supreme moment of loneliness, so dark and deep that only Jesus has ever experienced. It was on the cross the moment he became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). In that unfathomably horrible, incomprehensibly lonely moment, he felt forsaken by his Father (Matthew 27:46) and all those he loved. He was ravaged ...
But he can and does understand your loneliness. He can sympathize with this weakness more than you know (Hebrews 4:15). Jesus doesn’t merely understand your loneliness; he’s destroying it.
