So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand
Isaiah 41:10
I read a great blog article this week by a single adult who talked about being alone.
I think everyone is afraid of being alone to some extent. Some cope with it better than others. Most of the time I enjoy being alone. I am an introvert, so I recharge by being away from people. I am okay with going to movies by myself and eating by myself (I do like to have a good book while eating.)
There are moments though, when I feel the weight and fear of being alone. The good news for me is that I have matured enough to understand that being in a relationship does not mean you never feel alone.
So what can you do? I like to do something for someone else when I feel alone. It takes the focus off yourself. It also occurred to me this week that I can channel that feeling into seeking God more. I can remind myself that though I feel alone, I am not. God is present. Take comfort in Him.
