When We Are All Alone!

Most of us experience this feeling way too much in our life. We have invested much time on friends and family, and rightly so. But what happens when our world is turned upside down and we are thrown to the wolves. If you have lived long enough, you probably have felt like everyone has abandoned you.

What could turn you life upside down? Many things could cause this to happen. Death, loss of job, divorce, just to mention a few. But what are we to do when something like this strikes us in our life. Most of us rely on our friends and family. But what if they aren't living close to you? Where do you turn?

[Turn To God]
James;1:2-4
(My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have it's perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.)
God tells us to humble ourselves before Him, and not to be proud.
1Peter;5:6-7
(Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.)
Luke;14:11
("For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.)

[Casting Our Cares Upon Him]
Psalm;55:22
(Cast your burden upon the Lord and he will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.)

It's never easy to go through trials in our life, but we will all have many of them if we live long enough. God tells us to rely on Him always. He is in charge of everything that goes on in our life. He allows trials to happen so that our faith is perfected. Wouldn't it be nice if everything was perfect? But that isn't going to happen until we are in Heaven.

Until we are in Heaven, we need to rely on God's strength to get us through all the hard times and good times. He wants to have that close relationship with us. He loves us and cares for us and wants to be there for us. If we truly love Him, we will turn to Him always. We can do nothing without Him, we are weak but He is strong.

God Bless you!
