THE SEED
“…lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” — Matthew 28:20b (KJV)
Loneliness is real. Sometimes the weight of life makes us feel isolated and forgotten. But Jesus promises that we are never truly alone; He is with us, always. When friends aren’t there and words fall short, God’s presence surrounds us. When we’re too weak to pray, the Spirit intercedes for us. When the night feels long, Christ’s light breaks through. God’s presence is not limited by our feelings. Even in the silence, He is near. He walks with us through the valley and stands with us on the mountain. His love remains steady when everything else feels uncertain. We need to let His nearness be our comfort. We should open our hearts to His voice in His Word, in worship, and in quiet moments. We may feel alone in the challenges of life, just like King David experienced and Joseph did too on his journey to greatness, (from the pit to Potiphar’s house; to prison and landed in the Palace to rule!) In all we may be going through, we must never entertain the thought that we are forsaken. The One who promised to be with us is faithful to the end.
BIBLE READING: Psalm 23:1–6
PRAYER: Jesus, thank You for being with me always. Even when I feel alone, help me to trust that You are near. Amen.
