Biblical Answer

When you feel like you've lost everything, it's natural to question God's sovereignty and your own worth. You may feel like your usual responses to people and activities you once enjoyed are now empty and unfulfilling. Spiritually, you might notice anger, loneliness, or a lack of comfort in remembering that the sovereign, loving God is in control. This is a common experience for many people, and it's not uncommon for it to be accompanied by feelings of anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed.

In times like these, it's essential to remember that you are not alone. The Bible reminds us that God is always with us, even in the midst of our darkest moments. Psalm 139:23-24 says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!" This verse reminds us to be honest with God about our feelings and thoughts, and to ask Him to guide us through the darkness. When we get honest with God, the Spirit of God can begin to do His work in our heart, revealing to us what we are like and helping us to see our need for Him.

As you navigate this difficult time, remember that you are not a victim of circumstance, but a beloved child of God. You are not defined by your feelings or your circumstances, but by your relationship with Jesus Christ. When you look to Jesus, you will no longer be alone, but strengthened and changed. You will begin to see things from a new perspective, and you will learn to rely on God's sovereignty and goodness, even in the midst of uncertainty and difficulty. Ultimately, it's not about losing everything, but about losing ourselves in Jesus, and finding our true identity and purpose in Him. As the Psalmist says, "I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken." (Psalm 16:8) When you focus on Jesus, you will find that you are not shaken, but strengthened and secure in His love.
