November 7th 2025 – Moments of Loneliness

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

In times of loneliness, it’s vital to anchor ourselves in the promises of God. The Bible reassures us that even in our most isolated moments, God is with us.

Psalm 23:4 reminds us, “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.” This verse highlights that we are never truly alone, even when we feel surrounded by darkness.

Jesus, too, experienced profound loneliness during His earthly journey. In Matthew 27:46, He cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” This poignant moment demonstrates His deep understanding of isolation. Through His suffering, He empathizes with our struggles and feelings of abandonment.

In these moments of solitude, turn to prayer as your refuge. Share your heart with God, voicing your emotions, worries, and fears. He is a loving Father eager to listen. Psalm 34:18 reassures us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” This truth can bring comfort, reminding us that God is near even when we feel alone.

Moreover, seek fellowship within your Christian community. Connecting with fellow believers can provide vital support and a sense of belonging. Hebrews 10:25 encourages us not to neglect gathering together but to uplift one another. Engaging in small groups, Bible studies, or community service can help combat feelings of loneliness and foster connections.

Jeremiah 29:11 offers hope, stating, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This promise serves as a reminder that God has a purpose for your life, even amidst loneliness. Trust that He is at work in your circumstances, shaping you into who He intended you to be.

While loneliness can feel overwhelming, remember that you are never truly alone. Embrace God’s promises, express your heart in prayer, and trust in His divine plan. May you find comfort and hope in His unwavering love during these seasons of solitude.

Even in the depths of loneliness, remember that you are cradled in God’s everlasting love; His presence transforms isolation into a journey of hope and purpose.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, In the midst of my loneliness, I turn to You, knowing that You are always near. Fill the emptiness within my heart with Your comforting presence. Help me to remember that I am never truly alone, for You are with me every step of the way.

Grant me the strength to seek companionship and support from others, to build meaningful connections with fellow believers who can uplift and encourage me. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me, where I can extend love and kindness to those who may also be feeling lonely.

Teach me to find solace in Your Word, knowing that it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Guide me to scriptures that remind me of Your promises and Your unfailing love for me.

In this moment of loneliness, I choose to trust in Your plan for my life. Help me to remember that You are working all things together for my good. May I find peace in Your presence and joy in the knowledge of Your everlasting love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

June 24th 2025 – Finding Significance in God’s Presence

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:13-14)

Loneliness can often feel like a heavy cloak that we cannot remove. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel insignificant or that our presence goes unnoticed. We may struggle with the feeling that we are not needed, leading to a deep sense of isolation.

However, as Christians, we are reminded through Scripture that our worth does not come from how others perceive us, but from God’s perspective. Psalm 139 beautifully illustrates that each of us is intentionally created and wonderfully made. This truth is foundational; it tells us that we are significant in God’s eyes.

When you feel lonely or insignificant, it’s essential to turn your heart and mind toward God. Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Pray: Engage in honest conversation with God. Express your feelings of loneliness and ask for His comfort and reassurance. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us to present our requests to God, promising that His peace will guard our hearts.
  2. Seek Scripture: Dive into the Word. Verses like Matthew 11:28 invite us to come to Jesus with our burdens. Reading stories of individuals in the Bible who felt alone, such as Elijah or David, can provide comfort as we see how God was present with them in their struggles.
  3. Connect with Others: Reach out and connect with fellow believers. Community is vital in combating loneliness. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us to consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.
  4. Serve: Sometimes, focusing on helping others can lift us out of our feelings of insignificance. Galatians 5:13 reminds us to serve one another humbly in love. This act can help us realize that our contributions matter and that we are needed in God’s family.
  5. Reflect on God’s Promises: God promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Meditating on His faithfulness can provide solace in times of loneliness.

“In times of loneliness, let us remember we are never truly alone; God is always with us, and He has a plan for each of our lives.”

Prayer:


Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us of our worth in Your eyes. Help us to find comfort in Your presence when we feel lonely and insignificant. May we seek connection with You and with others, recognizing that we are part of a greater purpose in Your kingdom. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

November 12th 2024 – Finding Hope In The Silence

“God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” (Psalm 69:6)

As parents, the silence from adult children can feel deafening. The absence of calls and the distance in relationships can leave a profound sense of loneliness and despair. It’s easy to feel like you are just occupying space, longing for a connection that seems out of reach. In these moments, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Jesus understands your pain and is present even in the silence.

Jesus offers us comfort in our loneliness. He reminds us that our worth is not defined by the actions of others but by His unconditional love. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This promise is for you. When feelings of abandonment creep in, take those burdens to Him.

When we feel we like we no longer matter to our children. Let us remember that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. Trust that He is weaving a tapestry of healing and restoration in our families. Keep the faith, for Jesus is our hope and our refuge.

“Jesus invites us to find rest in Him, offering comfort amid loneliness. In prayer, we can bring our feelings of abandonment to God, trusting His presence and plan for our families.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart. The silence from my children weighs on me, and I often feel forgotten. Help me to lean on Your presence and to find comfort in Your love. Fill the void in my heart with Your peace and remind me that I am not alone. Teach me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when they make time to call back or visit. In Jesus’ name Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

July 10th 2023 – Moments of Loneliness

In moments of loneliness, it’s essential to remind ourselves of God’s promises. The Bible assures us that God is our constant companion, even in our most isolated times.

Psalm 23:4 says, “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.”

Reflect on the fact that Jesus Himself experienced loneliness during His time on Earth. In Matthew 27:46, He cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In this moment, Jesus truly understood what it meant to feel deserted and alone. Through His suffering, He can empathize with our own feelings of loneliness.

During these moments, turn to prayer as a means of finding solace. Pour out your heart to God, sharing your emotions, worries, and fears. Remember that He is a loving Father who longs to hear from His children. In Psalm 34:18, it is written, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Take comfort in knowing that God is near to you, even in your loneliness.

Hebrews 10:25 “… not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, as you see the Day approaching”

Additionally, seek fellowship within your Christian community. Connecting with fellow believers can provide much-needed support and a sense of belonging. Hebrews 10:25 encourages us to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.” Consider joining a church small group, attending Bible studies, or participating in some type of community service to help combat feelings of loneliness.

Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Lastly, remember that God has a purpose for your life, even amidst loneliness. Trust that God is working in and through your circumstances, using them to shape you into the person He created you to be.

Remember that while loneliness can be overwhelming, you are never truly alone. Seek solace in God’s promises, pour out your heart to Him in prayer, trust in His plan for your life. May you find comfort and hope as you rely on God’s unfailing love during seasons of loneliness.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

In the midst of my loneliness, I turn to You, knowing that You are always near. Fill the emptiness within my heart with Your comforting presence. Help me to remember that I am never truly alone, for You are with me every step of the way.

Grant me the strength to seek companionship and support from others, to build meaningful connections with fellow believers who can uplift and encourage me. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me, where I can extend love and kindness to those who may also be feeling lonely.

Teach me to find solace in Your Word, knowing that it is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Guide me to scriptures that remind me of Your promises and Your unfailing love for me.

In this moment of loneliness, I choose to trust in Your plan for my life. Help me to remember that You are working all things together for my good. May I find peace in Your presence and joy in the knowledge of Your everlasting love.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.”

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

March 7th 2020 – Jesus My Healer

“And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you” (Deuteronomy 7:15)

Our Father God is not the author of sickness and disease.  He is the author of health and well-being. Our Father is looking for ways to bring healing to us and not take it away from us.  When we do a good study of the scriptures you will find over and over that our God is a God who heals His children.

The Bible states that Jesus and the Father are one and everywhere that Jesus went as He walked this earth, He never once put a sickness on someone.  NO!  He went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.  So we see that sickness is from the devil and it came at the fall.

When satan came and brought fear into this world and all its deadly works, God sent Jesus to destroy all of them for us. What a Father we serve.  He is the Great I Am, not I Want To Be.  He is at work in us, helping us and guiding us to bring a cure. Do you really think that the devil would give us doctors and nurses and people that can help us?

You see if it was up to the devil he would keep us sick and miserable.  But our Father has given us healing through His Word.  He has given great medicines and doctors, all because He loves us and wants us well.

So today, don’t accept anything from the devil.  Accept everything that is good and comes from God your Heavenly Father Who loves you and gave His all for you. Learn His ways and the light will always expose the darkness of the devil.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before you today in need of your healing hand. In you all things are possible. Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul. In the midst of chaos, I am lost, but I am singing. You gave us life, and you also give us the gift of infinite joy. Give me the strength to move forward on the path you’ve laid out for me. Guide me towards better health, physically, mentally and spiritually. Give me the wisdom to identify those you’ve placed around me to help me get better In your precious name I pray, Amen.

March 6th 2020 – Jesus, Friend of Sinners

“God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are My followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven.” (Matthew 5:11-12)

How was Jesus known when He walked this earth? He was known as “the friend of sinners.” We might think that sounds like a compliment now, but it surely wasn’t meant as a compliment back then.

Some members of the Jewish leadership establishment were appalled that Jesus would hang out with sinners.

No, He never compromised—this was our holy God in the flesh. But He loved these outcasts, this off-scouring of society, and they knew that He loved them. They were drawn to Him by that love.

We need to love people in the same way. Since we’re going to be persecuted, let’s be persecuted for the right reasons. Not for being self-righteous but for being righteous.

Jesus seeks us. read Luke 15:1-7 and John 18:9 Realize that in the midst of trial, trouble and temptation, He is there with you. Why? Because Jesus chose to be friends with us sinners. You may need to turn around to face Him. But I asure you, He wants to pull you out of your problems and liberate you from sadness, but before He does, He wants to walk with you through the valley. Even when you are in the valley of the shadow of death, He is there. May you know He is there to dry your tears, lighten your load and be a closer friend than any you have ever known. Loved one, right now take a few minutes out of your busy day and turn to Him. You will be glad you did. And so will He.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for seeking me and sticking by me through good times and bad times. You are the true friend. Sometimes, I become content to wallow in self pity. Please forgive me for that and humble me to allow You, through the hands of others, to comfort and even challenge me to trust you and Your promise. Please help me through the times of panic, the times when the pain is crippling and I can’t breathe. Hold me close Jesus when I feel all alone. Remind me that You are here and Love me when I am unable to see past the pain. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you trust Jesus enough with your life? You should, Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus

October 4th 2019 – God Still Heals

“to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,” (1 Corinthians 12:9)

What do you think about when you hear the words “healing” or “miracle”? Depending on how you grew up, these words may spark memories. Some of us may remember the charismatic preachers on television or even roadside tent revivals. Even though they may have involved miraculous signs and wonders, others may simply reject the notion that miracles even occur today.

Regardless of what we have seen or heard, we must always remember to ask the question, “What does the bible say?” You see, what we believe is not dependent on our opinion or upbringing, but fully relies on what God has revealed to us through His Word.

As we look into the glorious and perfect Word of the Lord, we see that He has given us His Spirit to help spread the Gospel and minister to one another. In 1 Corinthians 12, we see that Paul clearly states that the Holy Spirit can empower us with the gift of healings and miracles. While these can refer to many things, we must understand that we have the chance to be part of one of the greatest healings of all time.

What could that be you ask? Simply put, it’s the dead coming to life. When we share with others the Gospel and they respond, they go from death to life, from condemnation to forgiveness, from being a child of the adversary to a child of the living God. Maybe you’ve never experienced that supernatural healing. God desires to forgive your sins and make you new. All you have to do is come to Him. Are you ready for healing?

“Don’t ever forget that God still heals. He heals us spiritually, physically and emotionally”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I know that I have done wrong in my life and I ask that You forgive me. Lord, I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that He rose again. I come to You today and ask that You would create in me a clean heart and make me new. Fill me with Your Spirit and help me to walk with You every day of my life. I love You Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 16th 2019 – I Will Never Leave You!

“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5)

Life can sometimes be very tough on people especially when someone feels alone. Maybe your children don’t call, or your far from home and miss your family. Maybe your still waiting on a husband or a wife, or your mariage is in trouble and your seperated. Possibly you have lost a loved one.

Not everyone has the pleasure of having a family or a spouse. God provides for our needs, but He goes even further and provides us with His very presence. Jesus hasn’t forgotten about you. His name is Immanuel, which means “God with us.” Maybe your parents have forgotten about you. But God your Father has not forgotten about you.

One of the special benefits of having Jesus in your life is undoing loneliness. Jesus said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). From the original language, it literally reads something like this: “I will never, no never, no never leave you or forsake you.” That means, He is going to be with you in the happy days. He is going to be with you in the sad days. He is going to be with you on the hard days, the lonely days. He will be with you through all of your days. Then He will be waiting for you on the other side to welcome you into glory. You don’t have to be afraid, because God is with you.

I was recently asked by someone  “How do you get through the lonelyness and sadness if you have lost a loved one? Is there a book I can read?” My answer is that you don’t need a manual; you need Immanuel. You need to know that God is there. You need Jesus and need to lean into Him. That is the essential message that needs to be taught to the lost and lonely.

What we are longing for, deep down inside, is Jesus!

God is with us. He is here for you.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for sticking by me through good times and bad times. You are the true friend. Help me to seek You and  trust you and Your promise in these times. Please help me through the times of panic, the times when the loneliness is crippling and I cant breathe. Hold me close Jesus when I feel alone. Remind me that You are here and walk the path with me. That You love me when I am unable to see past the pain. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

images-1

Ask Jesus into your life.

Jesus, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself in life, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus’ precious name Amen.

February 17th 2019 – A God of Love

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” (John 15:13)

What a contrast the love of God is to the so-called “love” of our culture.

Our world loves you when you are young and beautiful; God still loves you when you are old and not so attractive.

Our world loves you when you are famous and a celebrity; God loves still you when you are unknown and a complete nobody.

Our world loves you when you are rich and powerful; God still loves you when you are penniless and weak.

Our world loves the extraordinary. God still loves the ordinary. People like you and me.

And God has demonstrated this love for us in a tangible way. Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13)

“Love will find a way. A lack of love will find an excuse. It has no limits”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love. Because of Your love for me, I have forgiveness of sins and hope of heaven. Father, fill me with Your Spirit and help me to love others like You love me. Make me more like Jesus so that I can share Your grace and mercy with those around me. Use me today to show love. I praise You for the amazing love, Help me to grasp this love so that I will be equipped to love others in the same way. Strip me of any excuses and use me to reach others with the love of Jesus. In His name, Amen.

January 12th 2019 – Strength in Weakness and Storms

Even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.  That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)

We don’t know what Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” was. Most commentators believe it was some kind of physical disability that he probably acquired after one of his multiple beatings or stonings. Whatever it was, the devil wanted to use it to get Paul down. And it worked. Paul got down on his knees and called on God. The devil wanted to drive Paul away from God, but instead the apostle seeked Him that much greater.

When we go through suffering and hardship, it can be so difficult at times. I have been dealing with a health issue this last year. Often there are times I don’t feel I can get up. But I do, I spend my time with the Lord every morning praising God, being in His presence before writing these devotions everyday. You want to know something, the fellowship I have had with God has never been sweeter. I have never been more dependent on Him. There are times I don’t think I can handle it, and then God gives me the strength that I need. And I have learned things that I would not have learned anywhere else. I don’t know the “why” of it all, but I trust God, cling to God, and rely on God.

Are you facing hardship and suffering today? Pour out your heart to God. He is trustworthy.

“Don’t try to face any situations of life without the Lord.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, It gets so hard trying to face the storms of life on our own especially when we feel weak. I need Your power and strength to face each one. Please continue to help and teach me to turn to You first. Help me learn to patiently endure the suffering and the hard times and honor You in the midst of them as I walk by faith. I lift up all of my troubles and faithfully trust in You Lord that you will guide us through the storms and calm the raging seas. In Jesus name, Amen
