Finding God in the lonely place: Jeremiah

Daily Service

Available for 29 days

Over one in five of the UK population are dealing with loneliness on a daily basis. Some experience it as a dull ache or a slight disconnection - whilst for others it may be much more acute. What does faith have to say about it? In this week’s Daily Service, Rev Richard Littledale looks at loneliness through the lives of five Biblical characters, in Old and New Testaments, and see where God may be found.
