Alone in Life’s Storms
July 21, 2023
When we’re slogging through life’s rainstorms or in a season of life with black clouds around our soul, we usually feel alone. And sometimes we keep that reality secret and try to ‘soldier on’ so no one will know the storm we’re in.
That aloneness may make things worse. We deny ourselves the encouragement of others. We’re vulnerable to poor decisions in our secret world of pain. And we don’t take advantage of knowledge and understanding from those who’ve weathered the storm.
Yes, it requires humility to tell someone of the storm we’re in, the temptation we’re struggling with. Discernment is required for that confidential, discerning friend. But humility signals to God that we’re willing to learn, willing to change, willing to stop being self sufficient.
Reach out, my friend. That will likely be the turning point.
