Prayer When I Feel Alone

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, who found God present in the smallest, most hidden moments of an ordinary life, be near to me in this loneliness. The silence around me feels heavy, and I wonder sometimes if anyone truly sees me. You believed that no act of love, however small, ever goes unnoticed by God, and that He is never as far from us as our feelings suggest. Help me to sense His quiet companionship even now, in this empty room, on this ordinary evening. Teach me your Little Way — to find Him in small things, to trust that I am seen and loved even when no one else is near — and remind me that you promised to spend your heaven doing good on earth, and that I am not, after all, alone. Amen.
