The World Is a Lonely Place
We can take our pick of recent events and we must conclude that
the world is indeed a lonely place.
Worldwide suffering, domestic violence, and personal depression are
reminders that we cannot depend upon our friends, relatives, or neighbors in
our time of crisis. While people whom we love, trust, and respect can surround
us, we may be crying out on the inside because we feel so alone.
Nevertheless, we can thank God that He said He would never leave
us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He is
a very present help in time of trouble (Psalm 46:1). The Holy Spirit or the
Comforter will come along side to help.
He will be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm
119:105). The Lord will protect, lead, guide, and comfort us (Psalm 23:1-4).
While it is true that we can be lonely in the world, we have the
privilege of turning to God who wants to have an eternal relationship with
us. He loves us. Whatever void people cannot fulfill in our
lives, He will be a husband, a wife, a mother, a father, a friend or anyone
else for you. Just turn to Him when
loneliness threatens to overtake you. He
has blessed me when I felt alone, and I know He will bless you, too.

New
International Version (NIV)
1
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in
green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He
guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I
walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your
rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
