What can we do when we feel alone? Think about how Yahweh God is helping us. This will help us to see things with balance. Think about how Yahweh is helping other brothers and sisters around us. It is important we that we open our hearts to God and tell Him how we feel. It is also important to read God's Word regularly and ponder Bible accounts that reminds us of how much Yahweh loves us. 142Please respect copyright.PENANAJyBuJzWfF2
You can start by simply reading a one or two different Scriptures to give yourself the reassurance that Yahweh care for you and understands your circumstances of worry and anxiety. For example: Psalm 27:10 (NLT) ~ "Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Sovereign Lord will hold me close." Feel free to look into Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) ~ "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my right hand of righteousness."142Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZR83uYSDX
This has helped me to feel less alone. It could help you too! However, reading the Scriptures isn't the only thing we can do ease some of the strain of anxiety and worry. In fact, the Bible points out to make friendships with not just others but specifically those who are in the faith! 142Please respect copyright.PENANASwTbHyL3Zr
Why so? Making friends with faithful brothers and sisters, that way, we can both have the necessary support to serve Yahweh Good in the midst of trials and tribulations that may come about. It may not be easy for some to make new friends, especially if they are a bit withdrawn. It may be difficult for us to express to someone how we feel, but that is the basis of a good friendship. We want to strive to encourage and support each other the best way we can.142Please respect copyright.PENANANwwWqaZ5d9
Yahweh God uses the power of Friendship to help us through these difficult times in our lives, such as when we feel alone. Whether it may be through Prayers, Communication, Participating in the Ministry, Reading the Word, etc. Proverbs 17:17 (NLT) ~ "A friend is always loyal, and a brother and sister is born to help in time of need."142Please respect copyright.PENANASdH4DoQmxU
Never be discouraged on allowing Yahweh God to take some of the load off from your shoulders. Amen xoxo142Please respect copyright.PENANA5K6PDSzpqG
