"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15
I have always been afraid of being alone. But like these past few weeks He reminded me that He is there, He wants me all to himself. So I sit and I talk to Him. Isn't that the way He gets our full attention anyway? He wants us to go to Him, to take everything to Him. How wonderful it is to be loved by The One .
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
[10] So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (https://bible.com/bible/111/isa.41.10.NIV)
Dear Elora Meiring, it is indeed true that we are not alone. Our Heavenly man is always with us. He is for us, next to us He continuously surrounds us with His presence😍. He desires us and the intimacy we can have with Him is through talking to Him, listening to that loving voice and reading His Word. The abundant life that we will be able to live in practice will only be the one that we sometimes feel drifting away. I’m glad to read that you no longer feel afraid lately. Thanks for sharing the bible verse, very encouraging.
Thank you for sharing precious Elora, I was also so afraid to be alone, but now I enjoy my alone time with our Darling Lord. And yes He is for sure right next to you. I want to share this beautiful promise with you:
“Your sun will never set; your moon will not go down. For the Lord will be your everlasting light. Your days of mourning will come to an end.” I60:20 https://www.bible.com/bible/116/isa.60.20.NLT
This was encouraging Elora. We are never alone because we have Him. We are loved by Him. I too used to hate being alone, but now I truly enjoy being alone with Him. 🩷
Thank you Elora for such an encouraging verse,indeed He will not leave nor forsake us.
Yes my dear Elora, we never have to feel alone, or lonely, because He is with us, and we can talk to Him about anything and everything! Isn’t it amazing that the Creator of heaven and earth loves to listen to us? And He also loves to speak to us! He is such a gentlemen and we can be sure He will never leave us or forsake us. He is amazing and His love is worth every tear that we shed.
That’s Elora. We are never alone, because He has promised us that He will not abandon us. Thank you for reminding us that he is always by our side
Cuando aun estaba con mi esposo y todo estaba bien y por motivos de trabajo yo quedaba sola por las noches tenía la necesidad de dormir en el sofá con la TV encendida y las luces en ocaciones, tenía la necesidad de escuchar voces en casa.
Cuando empezó mi viaje y el dormía fuera de cama no podía dormir, y lograba dormirme hasta altas horas de la noche y después de mucho llorar.
Cuando el se fue de casa ese era mi mayor temor la noche, recuerdo que le pedí al señor y confíe en esta palabra EN PAZ ME ACOSTARE Y A SI MISMO DORMIRÉ PORQUE SOLO TU JEHOVA ME HACES VIVIR CONFIADO, para mi sorpresa Mi Amado Señor me regalo un sueño tan profundo y descanse como nunca me había sucedido y apartir de ahí dormí tranquila y a pesar que mi esposo aun no duerme a mi lado puedo descansar por que se que mi Amado me ha cuidado todos los días hasta el fin del mundo.
Amén.

When I was still with my husband and everything was fine and for work reasons I was alone at night I had the need to sleep on the couch with the TV on and the lights on. Sometimes I had the need to hear voices at home.
When my trip began and he was sleeping out of bed, I couldn’t sleep, and I managed to fall asleep late into the night and after crying a lot.
When he left home that was my greatest fear that night, I remember that I asked the Lord and trusted this word IN PEACE I WILL LIE BACK AND MYSELF WILL SLEEP BECAUSE ONLY YOUR JEHOVAH YOU MAKE ME LIVE WITH CONFIDENCE, to my surprise My Beloved Lord gave me I had such a deep sleep and rest as had never happened to me and from then on I slept peacefully and even though my husband still does not sleep next to me I can rest because I know that my Beloved has taken care of me every day until the end of the world.
Amen.
Thanks for sharing, He has never left us alone, I too was afraid of sleeping alone for a while, was attentive to every noise I heard until just like Elliot He gave me that same promise even during COVID I got so anxious I couldn’t sleep I prayed since I couldn’t sleep and He comforted me by giving me that promise again,
In peace I will lie down and sleep,for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.

And so I have been able to sleep anywhere anytime I need to He is so caring and loving with us He just hugs us and surrounds us with His love.
