Never Alone

Dialogue between Elijah and God

ELIJAH: I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts, because the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your prophets with the sword. And I, I only, am left, and they seek my life, to destroy it.

GOD: Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. And anoint Jehu son of Nimshi to be king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah to be prophet in your place. And him who escapes from the sword of Hazael Jehu shall slay, and him who escapes the sword of Jehu Elisha shall slay. Yet I will leave Myself 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.

Elijah in this passage thought he was alone. He was feeling pity for himself and God. He thought he was the only one who had the vision and idea that God wanted to fulfil, he thought he was the only one who understood that God wanted to bring his light to save the people and make them turn away from their idol, Baal to serve him. He thought he was alone with the vision, God's vision.

Dialogue between Elisha and his servant

When the servant of the man of God rose early and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. Elisha's servant said to him
SERVANT: Alas, my master! What shall we do?

ElLISHA: Fear not; for those with us are more than those with them. Lord, I pray You, open his eyes that he may see. And the Lord opened the young man's eyes, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

This is another scenario of someone who thought he was fighting his battle alone. He had no idea that God had sent chariot of fire to encamp around him and protect him. He was bounded by what he saw in the physical realm which was just him and his master, Elisha against tons of warriors, he could not look into the spirit realm to see how much protection that God had provided. He could not see how much he wasn't alone in the battlefield.

This can be our situations sometimes, we feel that we are alone, alone with our visions and purpose. We think that God has given us a vision in which we are the first in the world to carry out because no one around us seems to have done it before. 

Sometimes, we are in the midst of people but still feel lonely.

 It is like no matter how much we try to explain things to them and paint the picture of what we are passing through, people would never understand, they would not be able to relate with our predicament. 

It feels like we have no emotional or mental support system, like we are running the race and fighting the battle of life alone, but that is not true. You need to change that mindset. As a believer, you are never alone, there is someone bigger than you who sees all things even the deepest fears of the future that you have refused to share with anyone. 

If God has giving you a vision, you may be feeling like Elijah in the above scenario and saying things like "God,  I am alone here. No one has done this before, there is even know one I can turn to for mentoring" but this post is reminding you that you are not alone.

He gave you the vision, and we surely bring it to pass all you have to do is play your part and trust him.
You might even be feeling lonely in your school, place of work etc. Maybe you just joined, and you are finding it very difficult to build relationship, do not become friends with people out of desperation, take your time, study them, pray for discernment, so you can choose the right ones, do not allow the temporary feeling of loneliness make you hop unto any available person, in the meantime, take comfort in the fact that you are actually not alone, your God is with you, the holy Spirit wants to comfort you, make space for him let your heart be open to his voice always.
The same also applies to marriage. When selecting a life partner, you need to really get to a point where you are satisfied in God first. First understand that he is always there for you. Women especially should not go into marriage with the mindset that their husbands will cure every from of loneliness they are feeling, NO! Of course, it would help, but any depth of loneliness can only be cured in God, it is him we need to get closer to. Our friends might decide to cut away from us, may be because they feel it is the best for them, that is fine, even our husband may not be as available as we want him to be all the time (Same applies to men). There might be years when the both of you might be in the process of understanding each others needs. Those trying times may be painful, hard and lonely but always have it at the back of your mind that even when every one is absent (physically or not), God is always available, he is interested in us, he never gets tired of us. 

You are not alone. He has promised to send his angels to watch over you, he also said in his Word that he would never leave you nor forsake you, not in your new work place, not in your single hood, not in your marriage life, not on your sick bed, not in your season of grief, not in your trying times. He is there, he has always been there, he would always be there.
Finally don't go around, indulging in horrible habits when you are alone, don't let your mind be a breeding ground for the Devils thoughts and ideas, embrace God and his love, allow him show you ways to get rid of loneliness.
