Your Question:

does god really care about my struggles when i'm feeling so alone?

Answer:

I can understand why you'd feel that way. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feeling alone and isolated, even when they acknowledge God's existence. It's as if they feel that God's presence doesn't make a difference in their lives. But I want to tell you that God is not a distant Creator, but a loving Father who shares our sufferings and hurts with us.

When we're going through tough times, it's easy to feel like God is absent or uninterested. But the Bible tells us that God is always with us, even in our darkest moments. In Matthew 6:25, Jesus says, "Do not worry about your life." He's not saying it's easy to do, but that we should trust in His presence and care for us. When we're struggling with depression, it's hard to see God's love and care, but that doesn't mean it's not there. We need to remember that God's purpose for our trials is to bring us closer to Him, to humble us and make us more dependent on Him.

As someone who's struggled with feelings of isolation and loneliness, I want to encourage you to keep looking to God, even when it feels like He's not there. It's not about having all the answers or feeling a certain way; it's about trusting in God's love and presence, even when we can't feel it. We need to continually separate ourselves from our own strengths and weaknesses and look to God every day. He is always there, working things out for good, even in the midst of our struggles.
