Focus: Boxing With My Shadows Day 11 | August 15

Isolation often follows betrayal; loneliness is a shadow many box with. David cried out, “Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.” (Psalm 25:16) Jesus drew near to the lonely, inviting connection and restoration (John 4:7–26). God places us in community for healing—“Carry each other’s burdens…” (Galatians 6:2). Isolation is a strategy of the enemy, but God calls us into His family where presence and love break through the dark.

Bible Verses:

“Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.” (Psalm 25:16)

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Call to Action:

Reach out to someone for support or offer help to a lonely person. Pray for God’s presence to fill any empty places in your heart.

3 Things to Remember:

Community is God’s answer to loneliness.

Sharing burdens brings healing.

God’s presence fills every empty place.
