Have you ever experienced loneliness? I have…we all have. For many of us, this feeling comes and goes. For others it lingers for years, decades, even a lifetime. The truth of the matter is, we are never really alone. It’s often easier said than done, but we should have a conversation with God during the times we feel lonely or abandoned. David did in this familiar and beautiful passage:
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me….” (Psalm 23:4)
And Jesus assured us, as well:
“…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)
