Desperate and Never Alone

Desperate and Never Alone

My middle class neighborhood is tucked amongst trees and green grass painted in between the blacktop roads. Anyone driving by would not known or seen the desperation of my soul as I sipped my coffee with my husband on the front porch. As I look back to my early 30s I remember feeling trapped, although I was blessed with so much. Somehow I had lots of friends, yet still was lonely. No one really knew what I was feeling, and really I'm not sure I did either.

We can so often go through each day feeling trapped, alone, in this busy world.  

Scriptures to Read Aloud When Facing Anxiety

Scriptures to Read Aloud When Facing Anxiety

When faced with anxious times, it is easy to set our focus on the worst case scenario or even try to numb ourselves with a Netflix binge or music.  Rather than seeking to avoid or allowing ourselves to sink deeper, we can turn to our Helper, Creator, Savior. We cannot "wish" or try to will the anxiety away, but if we seek God in his Word, we will see that he is our refuge, strength and all-powerful, and we cannot live in peace without him.
