OVERCOMING LONELINESS: Never Alone
1 Kings 19:9b-18
LONELY & DISMAYED MAN OF GOD
“The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer. It’s the feeling of being uncared for,
-of being deserted and alone.” —Mother Teresa
GOD IS WITH US
“Turn to me and have mercy, for I am
and in deep distress. My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! Feel my pain and see my trouble. Forgive all my sins.” —Psalm 25:16-18
“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are
beside me.” —Psalm 23:4
“While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God
his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.” —Hebrews 5:7
“There is hardly ever a complete silence in our soul. God is whispering to us well-nigh incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear these whisperings of God. He is always
to us, only we do not always hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes on.” —Frederick W. Faber
“Be still, and know that I am God!” —Psalm 46:10
GOD’S COMMUNITY IS WITH US

one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” —Hebrews 10:24-25
