Day 5
God invites each of us to have a relationship with him. He promises to welcome us even if we’ve lost everyone else.
Pray
Lord God, please assure me that you hear me when I cry out to you.
Read
God doesn’t promise that we’ll never suffer from loneliness, but he does promise that he’ll never leave us.
Psalm 27:7-10
Reflect
God wants to talk to us, share our sorrows, give us counsel, listen to us talk about our days and our worries and our joys. When David wrote this psalm, he got honest with God. It felt like God wasn’t listening, so David cried out even louder. And while he waited for an answer, he reminded himself something true about God: “The Lord will take me in” (verse 10 ESV).
Respond
Try praying in David’s style. Cry out to God with your real emotions. List (either writing or speaking out loud) some true things about God’s character.

About this Plan
Do you have the feeling that no one really gets you—even your friends? Do you long for close relationships, but haven’t been able to find them? Not only does God promise to be close to us, he also provides companionship—and through his church, he even gives us a family.
