God Is Present In Your Loneliness – Stella Ramola
My dear friend, today we are meditating on the promise verse Psalm 4:3 which says, “the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.” Accordingly, you are set apart for God. So, when you pray to Him, He will surely listen to you.
Let me share a testimony with you. We were planning to go to a different country to establish the ministry there because God had given us so many visions and plans concerning the same and there were a lot of prophecies that confirmed this. So, we were so excited about it and we went to that country with so much joy and expectation from the Lord. But after a few months passed by and after putting so much effort into the ministry like buying the building, conducting so much of meetings and contacting so many people, we didn’t see the growth that we were expecting. Even in our lives we were feeling so cold because of the weather and it was so dark and there was nobody around us to give us love. Hence, with all these frustrations, we gave everything to God. We were pouring our hearts out unto God during family prayer. We would cry out to Him saying, “Lord, You are the One who called us for the ministry. You gave us so much of plans and you said that you will do so many things through the Ministry. Where is the fruit? We are sitting here in so much loneliness and darkness.” We were thus literally fighting with God. But in that time God spoke to us and He comforted us. He said “I am with you. You have to go through these paths sometimes so that you will learn to trust Me. You will learn patience and humility.” He thus taught us so many lessons that day. We were filled with so much comfort because we knew that Jesus was with us even in that situation. After that, we saw so much of an increase in the ministry. Even more, than we have seen on that day! And even in our personal lives, God blessed us abundantly and He has made us into a living testimony.
dear friend, when you live a life that is set apart for God and call on Him during your adverse situations, He will be with you and listen to your cry. He will comfort you and make sure that all that He said will come to pass in your life. So, learn to hold on to the Lord and trust Him only in all situations. He is the only One who can bless you. Today, are you saying that you have been waiting long for the Lord’s promises to come to pass in your life? Do you feel lonely? Are you longing to be blessed in your studies, your career or in your family life? Perhaps, you are frustrated thinking “why so many problems when I am following God’s will?” Do not lose heart, my friend. Call unto God and He will listen to your cry. He will be your comfort and He will make everything come to pass in your life.
Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for speaking to me with Your word. Thank You for assuring me that You will hear me when I call unto you. Lord, I thank You for choosing me and for setting me apart for You. I love You, Lord. I pray that Your loving presence will always surround me and will remove every loneliness and emptiness from my heart. Lord, help me to lead a holy and righteous life before You. Lord, I pray for all Your promises to come to pass in my life and let Your name alone be glorified. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
