Loneliness & Homesickness

Dear Lord,

Today I pray for students who are experiencing loneliness or homesickness. I pray that you would bring friends into their lives. Comfort their hearts and surround them with peace and contentment. Let them have courage to reach out and be a friend to others. I pray especially for freshmen who are away from home for the first time. Strengthen them. Refresh their spirits. Let them get a card or note or phone call from someone at home--a relative, a friend, or someone from the past who will encourage them. Surround them with new friends. Let them know that they are not all alone. You are always with them.

Amen
