Your Question:
How do I keep going when I feel so alone?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of loneliness you're carrying. As someone who's walked through the valley of darkness, I want you to know that you're not alone. In fact, the Bible reminds us that we're never truly alone (Proverbs 15:3). We were created to need other people, and that's exactly what I've learned through my own struggles with depression. When I felt like giving up, it was the love and support of my wife Susan and our children, Joshua and Rebecca, that kept me going. As a pastor, I've seen the power of community in the church. When we come together, we're reminded that we're not alone in our struggles. We're all in this together, and that's what makes the burden lighter. I encourage you to reach out to others, whether it's a friend, family member, or a fellow believer in your church. Let's work together, just as Galatians 6:2 says, to share the load and support one another. Don't be afraid to ask for help; it's a sign of strength, not weakness. In my darkest moments, I had to confront the nature of the human heart, which is prone to isolation and individualism. But I've learned that when we humble ourselves and accept our purpose, we begin to see the world in a different light. We're not alone; we're part of a larger community that's been redeemed by Jesus Christ. So, don't give up, my friend. Look to Jesus, and remember that He's always with you, even when you feel like you're walking alone.
