I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping. – Psalm 102:7-9
Being alone can be tough. Solitude can be good, and the Bible states that our Lord Jesus purposefully removed Himself from people to pray. But feeling alone is not fun. Have you ever heard the phrase, “It’s lonely at the top”? Well, it’s lonely at the bottom too. It can be lonely no matter where you are in life.
We have an amazing promise from God, that He will never leave us, and will never forsake us (Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:5). When we feel like we have no one to trust, no one to help us, no one to even talk with, we feel alone. But even when God seems distant, He is watching over us. When we appear to be imprisoned in our situations and difficulties, and it seems like there is no hope, God does see us. He knows exactly what we’re going through.
Trust in that. Trust that the Lord is with you in this life. Bring yourself to Jesus, so He can free your heart and mind. Let Him give you hope again.
For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; – Psalm 102:19-20
Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, I feel alone sometimes. It seems like no one is around to truly be here for me. But in this moment, I choose to bring myself to you. Please give me hope. Strengthen me with a renewed relationship and friendship with You. I need you. Something has to change, so I ask you to walk through this day with me, and to be close to me. In your name, Jesus, I ask this.
