Never Alone

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

Feeling alone is terrible, especially when we are afraid and facing uncertainty. For a child of God, those feelings are liars! We are never alone. God promises never to leave us, fail us, or forsake us. He never lets go of our right hand. We have His word on it.

It Is Written

PSALM 121:1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? ² My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

By Faith

Hebrews 11:1-2 says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ² This is what the ancients were commended for.” This chapter is full of heroes of faith. They believed God and His word. Lions’ mouths were shut, the dead were raised, 99-year-old women gave birth, walls came down, they walked through the sea on dry land, and so much more. What a life! What a ride! If God is for us, who can be against us?

Prayer

Lord, when we are tempted to feel afraid and alone, help us believe that You, the Maker and Creator of the Universe, are holding on to our right hand, and that we have Your promise that You will never let go, never fail, or forsake us. Help us kick fear, doubt, and unbelief into the pit where they belong and walk in a manner worthy of You!

Takeaway

My help comes from the Lord.
