The Fatherless Journey for Girlsনমুনা

Do you ever feel like you are all alone on your own personal island, as if no one understands you and your situation, or as if you are the only person going through this fatherless experience on planet earth? Maybe you were the last one chosen to be on a team, or didn't get invited to a party? Did your friends plan a weekend without you and post the pictures on social media, showing the world how much fun they had?

It hurts. We have all felt left out and slighted at some point. Friends or family we thought we could count on let us down or stop talking to us.

When you have the feeling of loneliness, remember that even when no one else chooses us, God has chosen us (Ephesians 1:11 (NKJV): In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will).

When you feel hurt by family, a relevant scripture is Psalm 27:10 (NKJV): "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me." This verse offers comfort by reminding us that even when human connections are absent, God's presence and support remain.

Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV) says, "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” God will never abandon us. His constant presence gives us the strength to face our fears and overcome loneliness.

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) assures us of this in saying, “Let your conduct be without covetousness;be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” When you feel most alone, remember God is near to you!

Let's Pray... Dear Lord, please help me today to be aware of Your presence. Help me to remember that You are near when I may feel alone, because Your Scriptures say You will never leave me nor forsake me. Amen.
