I’ve read that loneliness is rapidly increased to a high percentage of our population. Even with social media connections and rapid communication, feeling alone can creep into our minds, telling us all sorts of lies. But walking in prayer with our Father, talking life out with Him, no matter how trivial the issue, brings wisdom and a communion with Him. Because of His presence, we are empowered to reach out to others with greater energy and purpose. Let’s inspire each other to develop deeper relationships, discipling others to invest greater alone time with our Father.
“God is with you in your moments of darkness because he will never leave you. But your darkness isn’t dark to him. Your mysteries aren’t mysterious to him. Your surprises don’t surprise him. He understands all the things that confuse you the most. Not only are your mysteries not mysterious to him, but he is in complete charge of all that is mysterious to you and me. Remember today that there is One who looks at what you see as dark and sees light. And as you remember that, remember, too, that he is the ultimate definition of everything that is wise, good, true, loving, and faithful. He holds both you and your mysteries in his gracious hands, and because he does, you can find rest even when the darkness of mystery has entered your door.” - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies
