- 0:15SPEAKER_00: Today we have a message, and this is a message is for someone here today that is needing this word.
- 0:21SPEAKER_00: Someone that's feeling alone when you feel alone.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: Many of us, we have so many people surrounding us, such a huge family, so many people, but yet deep inside we feel alone.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: We don't want to vent to everyone, we don't want to cry out to no one.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: We want to bottle things inside of us, and God is telling you today, you're not alone.
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: You know, I pray to God that these messages give you a power boost and let you know that you're not alone.
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: And today the word of God is Psalm 27, verse 10.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: Doesn't matter who leaves you, it could be mother, father, no matter who it is, God will never leave nor forsake you.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: His love for you is an unfailing love, is an agape love, a love that is unfailing, unchangeable, that no matter what you've done, how you feel, he will never leave you.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: There are times when you can be surrounded by so many people and still feel alone.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: I know that because I've been through that valley before.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you something that I never lived.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: You may be the one who checks up on everyone, the one who prays for everyone, the one who's there on and beyond for everyone, the one that helps people when they need help, while quietly wondering who would check up on you today.
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: I want you to know that your loneliness does not make you forgotten by God.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: No matter what you feel, God will never leave you.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: No matter what you feel, there are good people in this world that you can vent to, you can talk to, and you can feel safe with.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: So we see that in this word, in the Psalms, David speaks of the Lord receiving him, even if those closest to him forsake him.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: This is a picture of God's faithfulness, a picture of God's faithfulness and his care.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: People may have limitations, but we serve an unlimited God.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: Relationships may change, but you can bring your need for belonging into his presence without pretending that everything is okay.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: You know the best thing in this world is when you can come to God and you can pour out.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: You can cry that ugly cry, and he will still love you and embrace you.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: He will send someone after you to hug you, someone after you to give you a word and let you know that you're not alone.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: You can come to him and you can tell him, God, I am not okay.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: God, I need intervention.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: God, what's going on?
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: And you can be yourself before God, and that's what God wants.
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: He wants to reel you.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: He doesn't want you to pretend to be someone that you're not.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: He wants to reel you.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: God, I love you, I serve you, but I'm broken.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: That's what he wants.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: He wants you to let loose and tell him how you feel.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: Tell the Lord what you're feeling.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: You do not need to polish the words.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: You can simply say, Father, I feel alone and I need your comfort today.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: Then make room for connection.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: Call someone that you can trust.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: Reach out to a church family member or a church and accept an invitation from someone.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: You know, sometimes we feel we can't talk to someone because we're in church, and sometimes a church environment can also feel like a clang.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: It makes you feel like you can't reach out to no one else.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: No, be yourself, reach out to someone that you know can hear you and talk to you.
- 3:54SPEAKER_00: Do not confuse a quiet season with an abandoned life.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: You're not abandoned.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: You are worthy of love and companionship.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: Today, take one small step out of isolation and one honest step towards God.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: You do not have to carry this all by yourself.

- 4:44SPEAKER_00: No matter what you're going through, God sees it.
- 4:47SPEAKER_00: Reach out for a prayer.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: Reach out.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: Do not hold yourself back and make yourself feel that you got to carry burdens all alone.
