Affirmations in Christ

This month we’ll close with an affirmation that has been brought up in many different settings lately. I’ve spoken it or heard it said in one-on-one chats, in small groups, to friends and family and as a constant reminder to myself.

I AM NOT ALONE.

fear not, for I am with you;
    be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10, eSV

• 

Beyond the physical isolation of today’s world, there is a battle against the isolation of suffering we may experience or hard times just from day to day.

In the varying trials, know that you are not alone. In the private tears, you are not alone.

In the wondering, in the waiting, in the questioning and persisting. In the second-guessing…

My dear friend, if you have not heard it lately, I will remind you that we serve a faithful God who is always with us. Yes, our stories are different, but we are the same as we walk in the daily pursuit of holiness and need of God’s renewing grace.

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16, esv

More than a statement to fend off loneliness; pause and trust His promise. God is with you now and you are never alone.

Trust God. Seek Him. Be Affirmed in Christ.
