At My Right Hand

A prayer for loneliness, from Psalm 16:8

The right hand was where your closest ally stood in a fight, the one who kept you steady. If that place beside you is empty now, this line of David's offers what no falling-out can take away. Being unshakable was never about how many stood with him, only about who.

I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8 (NIV)

The prayer

Lord, with You at my right hand, I am not alone. You are my portion and my cup. You make my lot secure even in isolation.

Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.

If this is where you are, these may help too
