We do not battle alone. Saying that can seem a little bold and to some it can seem insensitive to the individual emotions of those who truly feel alone. We all have moments, even longer periods of time, of loneliness that can all but cripple us and render us useless, but we have to somehow remember that it is a feeling. The mind and heart can really work against us, because of all the influences around us or even the lack of influences around us. While we may feel like we are in a place of total loneliness, we are actually sitting in a place of being fully equipped for battle, as well as being backed by a whole team of warriors! No matter what you believe or don’t believe, there is a spiritual world we cannot fully understand. For us, we relate that to our understanding and our personal belief, in a loving God, who created us for community and has provided us with heavenly host of warriors, ready and willing to fight for us. We will still experience the feeling of loneliness, the feeling of hopelessness and the feeling of sorrow, but we are never alone. In these moments of loneliness, may we know we have the courage to step out and become a part of something much bigger than that moment and in stepping out, may we realize we are not alone.
