SO GOOD QUOTES

When they pray, they feel God’s hand comforting them.

And so even though they’re alone, they’re not alone, and I feel like that’s a lesson for all of us. So when loneliness starts to creep in, I feel like when we start to feel lonely, we need to take advantage of that feeling and think about how we can sit in the presence of Christ. So the next time you feel lonely, don’t surrender to that feeling of loneliness. Turn it into a moment of fellowship with God. Read the Scripture. Turn it into a moment of prayer. Invite the Lord to compete with you, to join you, to have fellowship with the saints. And I feel like our church cherishes their relationship with Christ so much that they wanted to spend all their time with the Lord. You know Saint Anthony, his famous line, his famous expression is, I want to be alone with with Thee alone, and he wants to have quiet time with God. So the next time we have this feeling that we’re lonely and isolated, take it as an opportunity to be alone with Thee alone. Open your Bible, read the passage from the Gospel, encounter the love of Christ. And I feel like this encounter will energize you. The promises of God will give you power.

And I feel like if we did this, we will never feel alone. Jesus is with me all the day, all the way.
