The Feeling of Loneliness

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Isaiah 41:9-10

Worship song: I am not alone



 Meditation:

    There are several different definitions describing loneliness, but it is said that loneliness is a state of mind. It causes people to feel empty, forsaken, and unwanted. One of the frequently used definitions that most persons can attest to is the state of mind linked to wanting human contact but feeling alone. Have you ever wondered why you are in a room with all your friends or family, etc., and still feel lonely? It is because there is a void that mere humans cannot fill. All of us, at some point in our lives, struggle to cope with the feeling of solitude. There is a feeling of loneliness that spouses, loved ones, families, or friends cannot replenish. We can have everything for our comfort and still feel lonely. There is an inner feeling of loneliness that will not go away by gaining riches, fame, or fortune, or accumulating earthly possessions. Many have tried to fill the void of loneliness through the use of drugs, alcohol, work, relationships, entertainment, friends, etc., yet they still feel empty. The physical man can be filled with physical cravings, but a spiritual hunger can only be filled through spiritual accessibility. 

    If you try everything to drown loneliness, and you still feel lonely, it is because Jesus Christ is absent from your life. Only Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, the comforter, can fill the void and conquer the feeling of loneliness. The Lord so desired a relationship with us that he sent his son to call us away from our lusty desires and shame to bridge the gap of separation. The Holy Spirit dwells within each of us but can only be activated when we allow Jesus Christ to access all ports of entry. The Holy Spirit will comfort and be with us forever as promised by Jesus Christ.

Let us pray:

    Abba Father, I surrender loneliness, emptiness, and purposelessness unto you, O God. I give you authority over my heart, mind, body, and soul, my God. All power is given unto you, Jehovah God, and I trust you to impact my spiritual growth in a way that will enhance your kingdom. Lord, I beseech you to empty us and fill us with inner peace and contentment. Where there is any void, whether spiritual or physical, fill us with divine power. Breathe on us, Holy Spirit until our will is lost in thee. Almighty God, in difficult moments, when we feel isolated, when we have no one to turn to, comfort our hearts, and be with us, O God. Mighty God, I give thee thanks for your comforting words of assurance, and I trust in and believe all your promises. Mighty God, thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. Amen.

God's favor be extended to you all. Shalom. ✌💗

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
