"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed."
The mountains of Juneau, Alaska |
It's been some time since I read the bible and in the Christmas Season, I felt a need to connect and hear the Lord. And I read
"My thoughts are not your thoughts . . ."
These thoughts of loneliness are not of God. His being is greater than I can understand and I only know that He must have grabbed my hand to bring me close to Him. With this undesired emotion, I am brought to my knees to pray. In that I know that I must keep my faith because it is all His will and I know He wants good things for us.
So this feeling of loneliness brings me closer to God. Because here I am. Reading His word and feeling better already.
