Feeling small and lonely?

Text: “And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”1 Kings‬ 19‬:10‬ KJV‬‬

There will be times when you will feel the weight of the world on your shoulder, and this will make you feel alone and small, but how does God expect you to react.

Elijah didn’t handle this particular scenario well in the passage above though he has been a man heavily used by God and several signs and wonders had been done through him when he found himself in this type of situation, the Bible said he felt dejected and wanted to die. In fact, the Bible said he went to hide in the wilderness and was praying to die.

But instead of God killing him, God gave Elijah the direction to go; God told him to go and stand in his presence.

At least two things can help you in the presence of God; the first is Worship, and it helps you connect with God. The second is the Word of God; it gives you light and direction out of the situation.

Anytime you feel small and lonely, it is time to soak yourself in the presence of God. Worship and study His Word, and you will see that the matter that seems impossibly big will be brought to nothing by God’s awesome presence.

Another example of a man who witnessed such a difficult time was David (1 sam 30:3-6). But in the David’s case, the Bible said that though David was distressed, he found strength in the Lord his God.

My brethren you may not be able to control the situation but you can control how you react to the situation, choose to be in the presence of God when you feel small and lonely instead of weeping and feeling dejected.

Confession:
I choose to draw close to God, especially when the situation seems terribly awkward. This is my year of Supernatural Increase.

    I choose to be in God’s presence not only when the going is bad, but in all Life’s season… “One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in his temple” (Psalm 27:4).

    I choose to put God first in all my endeavours, trusting Him in every situation. 🙏🏾🙌🏽😇 When challenges feel overwhelming, when loneliness creeps in, or when doubt tries to tell me I am not good enough, I will stand firm in my faith. 💪🏾🌟💖

    I will declare that I am a victor, not a victim! Fearfully and wonderfully made, the apple of my Father’s eye, filled with His love, power, and a sound mind. 😇🙏🏾❤️ No weapon formed against me shall prosper, for He is with me therefore no one is against me. 🙌🏽🌟💖

    The devil always try to make you feel that your problem is bigger than God and that there is nothing you can do about it but when you go to God in worship and wait on him for his word, he gives you light which puts the problem where it belongs; under your feet. Hallelujah!
