Alone / Lonely
[NOTE: I typically don't post this sort of recommendation in these Scripture Topics, but this particular topic hits home pretty hard. I've been through a LOT of growth over the past 2.5 years of my life. These years have been some of the hardest, yet most exciting and most rewarding times of my life. If it weren't for me having a relationship with God, I honestly wouldn't have made it through all the growing pains. I spent A LOT of time with God, one-on-One. I spent a LOT of time talking with Him and resting in His love. I spent a LOT of time with four songs on repeat and they helped me through some of my hardest times, so I want to share them with you.

I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there.

Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” - Hebrews 13:5 AMP

When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end. - Isaiah 43:2 MSG

Father God, I thank You right now, that I am NOT alone. You have promised in Your Word over and over that You will NEVER leave me - You will NEVER abandon me. My parents may have abandoned me - my friends may have walked away from me, left me standing on my own. Oh, but Faithful God, I know I was never truly alone, for YOU are always with me. Thank You, God for always being with me - through every storm, every victory, every trial, every time of rest, every time of rejoicing - every part of my life, walking with me through this life and helping me. I love You, so much, God! Thank You!
