Alone

We’ve all been there. There are times in our life where it feels like the world has turned against us and we are all alone. Sometimes it even feels like God has abandoned us. Job knew the feeling. In Job 19, Job describes the desperation that comes when it feels like prayers are no longer answered, Divine guidance has been taken away, your good reputation has been stripped away, hope is gone, and the positive relationships that you had with friends, family and God are no longer present. In Job’s lament we find hints as to how we can respond when we feel all alone. (Job 19)
