We all feel alone at some point. It doesn’t matter if we are young or old, married or single, male or female… During the course of our lives there are times when we feel as if we are completely alone despite being surrounded by people.
However, if you love Jesus and have accepted him as your Lord and Savior, you can be sure that you’re never alone. God is with you in the midst of any circumstance and situation! Do not hesitate. Meditate on the verses below. Spend time with God and ground yourself in the reality of his presence. He will never leave you nor forsake you!
Cheer up! The Lord is with you!
1. Are you sad? the lord is near
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
(Psalm 34:18)
God will not leave you in times of pain or confusion. No matter how deep your sorrow is, he is with you and wants to bring healing to your heart and emotions. Bear your burdens before him and receive his comfort and love from him.
2. God never abandons you
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will receive me in his arms.
(Psalm 27:10)
Even if those you consider most important leave you, God will not leave you. It may be that due to life circumstances, you do not receive the support and love of your earthly parents or other people you appreciate very much. Your heavenly Father, the perfect Father, is with you and he always welcomes you with open arms. Go to him!
3. God is everywhere
Where could I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I went up to heaven, there you are; if I spread my bed at the bottom of the abyss, you are there too. If I rose on the wings of the dawn, or settled on the ends of the sea, even there your hand would guide me, your right hand would support me!
(Psalm 139:7-10)
There is no place in the world where God is not. That is why you can be certain that you will never be alone. You can be sure that he is always looking out for you, ready to take you by the hand to guide you and hold you in the midst of your situation. Do not reject it!
Psalm 139: 4 things God knows about every human being
4. God accompanies us to fulfill our mission
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I assure you that I will be with you always, until the end of the world.
(Matthew 28:19-20)
The children of God have the call to take his message of love and salvation to all nations. Wherever you are, you must remember that you have a mission: to make disciples. But do not fear: God has promised to accompany you. Have courage and persevere!
5. Tell God what weighs you down
Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.
(1 Peter 5:7)
Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us and God is always willing to listen to you. Go to him and tell him what weighs you down or causes you anxiety. He is not shocked! He already know it. But he likes that you go to him with confidence and tell him what happens to you. Talk to God and trust that, in due time, he will act! He takes care of you.
6. The Holy Spirit is with you always
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter to accompany you always: the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept because it neither sees nor knows him. But you do know him, because he lives with you and will be in you. I’m not going to leave you orphans; I will come back to you.
(John 14:16-18)
The Holy Spirit of God is not only with you at all times but also comforts you. He is the Spirit of truth; therefore it will speak the truth to your heart about the situation and about how God is working. Pay attention to his voice, receive comfort from him, and enjoy his company.
7. Nothing will separate you from the love of God
Yet in all this we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither what is present nor what is to come, nor powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love that God has manifested us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:38-39)
Life brings us good things and less good things. There are seasons of happiness and others of difficulty. You can trust that in the midst of all situations there is something constant: the great love of God manifested through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. There is no situation or person that can separate you from the love of God. You can always rest in the security of his presence and his love.
8. Do not fear, the Lord walks with you
The Lord himself will go before you and be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
(Deuteronomy 31:8)
We all have a purpose for which God created us (Psalm 138:8). The Lord will fulfill his purpose in your life just as he did with Moses and Joshua. But don’t worry, you don’t have to walk the path alone. The Lord is with you, he accompanies you and gives you the encouragement you need to carry out the corresponding tasks each day. Remember to spend time with him to get all the encouragement you may need.
9. God comforts you in the midst of darkness
Even if I go through dark valleys, I don’t fear any danger because you are by my side; your shepherd’s rod comforts me.
(Psalm 23:4)
It may be due to illness, the death of a loved one or a painful separation… life sometimes surprises us with very difficult situations. You can trust that God is with you in those moments too. There is no darkness that can overshadow the reality of the presence of the King of Kings, the great Shepherd, who is with you taking care of you and bringing the comfort you need to overcome that blow.
What does Psalm 23 mean?
10. In God you have what you need
Father of orphans and defender of widows is God in his holy abode. God gives a home to the homeless and freedom to the captives; the rebels will dwell in the desert.
(Psalm 68:5-6)
God knows your particular situation and he will provide what you really need. He knows your deepest longings and he will not leave you unanswered. Hold on to him, wait on him, trust that he will come to your defense. He will bring into your life what he knows is best for you. And his presence is, without a doubt, the best thing we can receive in the midst of any situation.
11. The Lord does not abandon those who seek him
Those who know your name trust in you, because you, LORD, never abandon those who seek you.
(Psalm 9:10)
Do you know the name of the Lord? Do you seek God each day from the heart? Do you have a friendship with him? Then you don’t have to feel alone. You can be sure that the Lord is with you because he never abandons those who seek him.
4 things God tells you today
12. Cry out to the Lord and he will answer you
You will call, and the Lord will answer; you will ask for help, and he will say: “Here I am!”
(Isaiah 58:9a)
The Lord is so close that he hears you when you cry out to him. He listens to you and responds! You can go before the presence of the Lord at any time and in any place. He is attentive to your cry and will answer your request by strengthening your heart with his presence and with his incomparable peace.
13. Wherever you go, the Lord accompanies you
I have already commanded you: be strong and brave! Do not be afraid or discouraged! For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
(Josue 1: 9)
Sometimes we do not dare to take on challenges because we think they will be too big for us. Are there any challenges in your life right now? Do you think you don’t have the strength to face it alone? Remember then that you are not alone. God knows in advance the opportunities that life presents us. If you cling well to the Lord you will have nothing to fear. He will accompany you and help you.
Joshua 1:9 | Be strong and brave
14. God helps you resist temptation
You have not suffered any temptation that is not common to mankind. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear. Rather, when temptation comes, he will also give you a way out so that you can resist.
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
All of God’s children go through times of temptation that sooner or later we will have to face. But you can be sure of one thing: God does not leave you alone in the face of temptation! He is with you, working on your behalf. To begin with, he does not allow a temptation stronger than you can resist to come into your life. On top of that, he provides the way out for you. He helps you by giving you strength and firmness so that you don’t give in. So remember this: In the midst of temptation, seek God. Listen to his advice, act according to his will and you will succeed.
15. God gives rest to your soul
Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
(Matthew 11:28)
Although God is always with you, he invites you to get even closer to him when you feel your soul is very burdened. He is the only one who can grant true peace, rest and calm in the midst of great sadness and difficulties. Go to him because his longing is to receive you and restore your soul.
16. Open the door of your heart to Jesus
Look I’m at the door and I knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
(Revelation 3:20)
Haven’t you let Jesus be a part of your life yet? Don’t you know what it is to have a real friendship with God? Open the door of your heart! Tell Jesus that you want him to be your friend and that you welcome him into your life as Lord and Savior. You will see how wonderful it is to feel the peace and company of the Lord every day. You will never be alone again because the God of the Universe, the King of Kings will accompany you forever.
