Loneliness can be scary at times. We are communal beings and that makes relationships essential. We are also spiritual beings at the same time. That part of us long to connect to our Creator G-d. Jesus demonstrated that loneliness need not be lonely. He intentionally withdrew to a place where he can be alone to be connected to G-d His Father to pray. (John 5:16) That exercise was recorded for us to teach us the importance to turn loneliness into solitude.  Indeed being alone need not be lonely.
