Your Question:
How do I keep going when I feel like I'm all alone?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling alone, especially when the battle against depression seems to be getting old. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of isolation and disconnection. But I want to remind you that you're not alone. There is joy set before you, and it's not just a feeling, but a reality that can be experienced in the midst of darkness. Remember that you were created to need other people, and that's a strength, not a weakness. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, I try to remember that I'm not alone in this fight. I have my wife Susan, who's been my rock for 19 years, and my children Joshua and Rebecca, who bring me joy and remind me of the importance of relationships. I also have my community at church, where we come together to support and encourage one another. It's not always easy, but when we work together, we can find the strength to keep going, even when it feels like the darkness is closing in. As I look to Jesus, I'm reminded that He's always with me, even when I feel like I'm all alone. He asks us to look to Him, to trust in Him, and to find our strength in Him. It's not about trying to be self-sufficient or relying on my own strength, but about surrendering to Him and finding my identity in Him. When I do that, I find that I'm not alone, and that there's hope in the midst of darkness.
