The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 78
You are Never Alone!
…for he hath said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. …lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
– Hebrews 13:5; Matthew 28:20
Think it not strange that persons suffering with anxiety and depression often feel like they are travelling alone on a very lonely journey even when in the presence of others. Can you imagine how this feeling of aloneness magnifies especially in times of difficulties? They assume that others are consumed with the busyness of life and their own share of challenges so they wouldn’t have the time to spare. Then when others reach out to them, they believe that they are a burden and feel guilty for the time spent comforting them. Thus, they presume it is best to go it alone. However, going it alone the road is much more rugged, long and unbearable.
Sometimes it also feels as though God is nowhere in the picture to be found. Nevertheless, you are never alone for Jesus promises that He will be with you always until the end of the world. He will not desert, fail nor give you up; nor leave you without support; nor leave you helpless; nor abandon you; nor cease to sustain and uphold you. Furthermore, He will not leave you comfortless and will come to you (see John 14:18). You also have the presence of the Holy Spirit as another Comforter with you always (see John 14:16) dwelling on the inside of you. Therefore, having the presence of the All-powerful One with you always means that He is more than able to carry you through every storm, difficulty, crisis, et cetera that you encounter on your journey of life. So let it be Lord!
God bless you!
