Many people will understand just how hard Christmas can be for some people. While it is meant to be a season of joy and hope, for some it can emphasize their loneliness.
Whether you’ve lost loved ones or can’t get to be with them for practical reasons, it’s important to remember that you’re never alone.
These quotes from the Bible highlight themes of God’s presence, comfort, support, and peace, which can be particularly consoling if you’re feeling all alone:
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
This quote from Isaiah 41:10 reassures us that, even in moments of loneliness, God is present, offering strength and support.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
