Embracing God’s Unwavering Presence
As a single woman, I’ve grown accustomed to the freedom that comes with independence. Yet, amidst the excitement of living life on my own terms, I often find myself longing for companionship. It’s only natural, after all – God designed us to crave connection and community.
The Void of Loneliness
Many of my friends and colleagues are married, surrounded by loving families and bustling households. Meanwhile, I’m left to navigate the quiet moments alone. It’s not that I’m unhappy with my life; I’m content with my circumstances. But there are times when I yearn for someone to share in the joys and struggles of daily life.
A Deeper Connection
The good news is that God desires to fill this void. He created us to need others, but ultimately, He wants us to need Him most. As Psalm 16:8 reminds us, “I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” God’s presence is unwavering, a constant source of comfort and guidance.
The Forgotten Companion
In the midst of our busy lives, it’s easy to forget that Jesus is always with us. We go about our day, experiencing a range of emotions, and often crave the chance to share those moments with someone. While flesh-and-blood friends can provide support, we must remember that God’s Spirit lives within every believer, offering a deeper, more intimate connection.
Unshakable Friendship
If we pay attention, we can become aware of God’s presence and experience His companionship throughout our day. He is closer than a best friend, always ready to listen and show us His love. His friendship is unshakable, a rock-solid foundation that will never falter.
A Heartfelt Prayer
Lord, thank You for being my friend and constant companion. Please reveal Yourself in every situation I face. May I remain mindful of Your presence, even in the quiet moments.
A Daily Reminder
Today, take a moment to remember that you are never alone. God is always with you, at your right hand. Set an alarm on your phone, jot a note on your desk, or write a message on your hand: “God is with you.”
