21 Days to Overcome StressSample

Nothing Can Separate Us

Loneliness is another scheme of the enemy and an unwanted cousin to stress, weariness, and fear. It is simply feeling like no one really cares about you or about your life.

It is thinking that nobody wants to listen to you or really know what is going on in your heart. It is believing that even if you did have a friend who knew your whole heart, that they wouldn’t like it or accept it at all.

Loneliness may very well be the most destructive scheme of all. If Satan is not able to trip you up with stress, worry and fearful thinking, he will try to alienate you from healthy relationships because even Satan knows the power of two!

"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them…” - Matthew 18:19-20

Although you may feel alone, you must remind yourself that you are never really alone because the Bible promises it. This is one of those strategic life moments when you must remind yourself that all of your feelings are not valid. When your heart tries to tell you that you are all alone and that no one cares about you or your life, your heart has been communing with Satan and listening to his dastardly lies.

You must open your Bible and agree with the Word of God and not with your pitiful feelings. Jesus’ parting words reminded the disciples that they would no longer see Him with their eyes, but He would be with them always (See Matthew 28:20).

The theme song of Jesus is that you will never walk alone. The lie that Satan spews addresses our feelings and is not a spiritual reality. The Biblical reality is that you are surrounded by God’s love and care every day of your life. He has promised it!

I implore you to read today’s Daily Deposit over and over until you have the full assurance of God’s unfailing love and trust that you are never alone! Never!

DAILY DEPOSIT:

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39 NASB1995
