Am I alone, I feel desolate...

Psalm 139 vs. 7-11 "Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you."

Have you ever been in a situation "a jam" where you have felt as if no one can hear you....a location of obscurity. Heard Satan or his friends say to you "He doesn't hear you, He can't hear you, no one hears you now, look around you, look at your situation?"

When I say surely the darkness will hide me
Surely God has forsaken me now, He can't be here with me or this would not be happening; All odds are against me, reports, facts, figures, statistics are up against me...I can't get up from under them, who can argue with these facts?

When even the light becomes night around me
Even little things that should not be an obstacle, I can't seem to get through them...the light has become darkness around me!

My Father's voice:
That darkness is not dark to Me, My eyes pierce through darkness as if it were as bright as the day. I will guide you still, My counsel will find you & My right hand will hold you tight! That obstacle you see is actually not an obstacle to Me. 
Vs. 12 'even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You....' Vs 10 'even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast'

Not only will He counsel me, guide me to teach me in the way that I must go, He holds me tightly. He remains with me through obscurity with His word and His presence...His guidance and His hand.

I really am not alone.

Friend: Do you want to know more about the father we keep talking about? Do you need a friend, have you been feeling all alone and really need someone you can rely on, someone in whom's embrace you can rest, someone super awesome and ultimately trustworthy? Embrace Jesus, He is the way, he is truth and he is life; By embracing Jesus Christ you embrace The Father for they are one and they will come and make their home with you so you never have to be alone again.
