So I've done something big. I've moved out. I'm living with my grandparents. I now live 4 hours away from my family, friends, and church. It sucks guys, it honestly does. Not that I don't love my grandparents but I miss my sisters, brothers, parents, and my good friends. Xian Li offered to let me live with her, "Merry" and "Rick" are praying for me, I know, and "Gandalf" moved away. I feel very alone, I guess.
This is one of those times where I go back to an older post or search Bible verses on a particular subject. God's reminded me time and time again, that even if I am alone He will NEVER leave me. The same goes for you. God cares for you, and even if it is hard to see it, He is still there.
I remembered a couple of Bible characters who dealt with loneliness. Job is one. Job lost his family, belongings, and even his friends turned against His beliefs and consequently him. Job was all alone humanly, but God was there with him spiritually.
David is another man. He went through loneliness time and time again. His own son tried to kill him! David never gave up on His God though. He was reminded by prophets, friends, or God to turn back to Him. To trust Him. His psalms are an excellent example of the faith God gave him.
Psalm 142 is a very good psalm that seems to speak to loneliness.
With my voice I cry out to the Lord, with my voice I plead for mercy to the Lord. I pour out my complaint before Him; I tell my trouble before him. When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me. Look to the right and see: there is none who take notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. I cry to you, Oh Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Attend to my cry for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me! Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me." Psalm 142: David
That's all I am going to right for today, but I am praying for you guys, and hope that the Lord will show himself to you this week. Thank you guys for coming back and reading. I love you all!
