FEELING ALONE

Feeling Alone: When no one meets your needs.

Have you ever felt like you’re surrounded by people, yet utterly alone?

Alone Like the sick man at Bethesda, who lay by the pool for 38 years, watching as others received their miracle, he knew what he needed to do to be healed, but somehow, someone else always got there first.

The sense of isolation amid a crowd can be suffocating, heart aching, leaving us feeling like we’re drowning in a sea with faces all around.

This feeling creeps into us in various areas and aspects of our lives. It may arise when you have worked tirelessly for a promotion, pouring your heart and soul into your job, only to see someone else receive the recognition you deserve.

Perhaps you have invested deeply in a relationship, giving your all, but feeling unfulfilled and stressed out as the result is bleak. It is present even in a matrimonial relationship; married, yet dying of loneliness, feeling like a stranger in your own home.

The truth is, there are some needs that man cannot fill, only Jesus can meet them. Jesus is the answer to our deepest longings.

When we feel like we’re stuck, like the man at Bethesda, we need to turn to Him. Through prayer, we can strike up a conversation with Jesus and find the healing, restoration, and hope we so desperately need and desire.

Jesus understands what it’s like to feel alone. He was betrayed by His friends, deserted by His disciples, and left to face the cross alone.  In His darkest moment, He cried out to God, and God answered. He can do the same for us.

Remember, Jesus is always present and willing to help in times of trouble. He can mend broken hearts, heal our emotional wounds, and bring wholeness to our lives. He can restore our relationships, revive our spirits, and renew our hope.

Don’t wait any longer to reach out to Him. Take a step of faith, and let Jesus meet you in your place of need. He is the ultimate solution to our deepest struggles, and He is always available to us.
