Overcoming Darkness: God’s Presence in Isolation

I was just searching YouTube for some old songs that kept coming to my mind, like The King Is Coming, I’m feeling mighty fine..I found them and then a song came up I haven’t heard in years. “Where No One Stands Alone”. Is there such a place? Do you ever feel all alone and no one and I mean no one is there? If you have, you have been in a very dark place. There is a difference between being alone and feeling ALL ALONE. Like if you died, no one would call 911 to find you, we wouldn’t put the Tracker on your scent. You feel as if life goes on for everyone whether you are here or not.

I asked earlier is there such a place where NO ONE stands alone. Yes there is a place. It’s a place you go and you live when Christ is walking with you. You may not see him, you may not feel him at times…but He is always there with you.

When you kid gets diagnosed with Leukemia, when your husband calls and says he will not be coming home anymore, when your best friend was in a bad car accident and dies, when you have little ones at home and no food in your house and you hear them saying, Mommy I am hungry, my tummy hurts. Yes God is with you. You are not standing alone.

How can I say this? There have been many times in my life that I have felt this way and asked God to take me home. One time in my life I even tried to help him take me home. You see he was right there and I didn’t even know it, I was so in a dark place. I couldn’t see the hand he was holding out to me, I couldn’t hear his voice call me saying I am here let me hug you, for I was all in my own head and a dark dark voice was telling me I was alone and no one cared and life would never get better. I listened to that voice, it wasn’t even a subtle voice, it spoke loudly. No one cares, no one would think you’re important enough to help you, God doesn’t care, why would you be in this mess if he did. However, I had a praying mom. I didn’t live near her, I didn’t even really speak to her at that time in my life, but she knew I needed God and I needed him NOW. You may not know that someone is praying for you, but God has put that person in your life for such a time as this.

There is a place where NO ONE stands alone. You are not alone. I am praying for you, God is watching over you. Push those thoughts out of your head, push push push. Keep fighting, keep hoping, keep on reading the Word of God, keep on asking. God is listening! You are not alone. Here is my prayer for you to ask God, Take my hand, let me stand, where no one stands alone. Let me know when he does, because I know he will.
