When we find ourselves alone,
More on God we then will lean.
And through these times there will be gain
As depth of wisdom we will glean.
Loneliness is not all bad
(But something that most folks will dread).
Yet God has purpose in these times
To shape us for what lies ahead.
We are strengthened and made rich
As down this path with Him we go.
While loneliness is not our choice,
Alone with Him we stretch and grow.
"Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed: I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eye-lids, until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob."
Psalm 132:3-5 KJV
