A prayer to pray now
Lord Jesus, You once cried out, "My God, my God, why have You left me?" You felt alone on the cross, so I never have to be. When I feel alone in my room or at school, help me remember I am not really alone. You were left alone in my place. Help me hold onto that on the lonely days, especially at school when nobody picks me. Amen.
