181: When You Feel Alone: Deuteronomy 31:8

Loneliness is a heavy burden—whether it's the ache of being misunderstood, the sting of loss, or simply feeling forgotten. But in our most isolated moments, God's Word speaks with unshakable comfort: “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed” (Deuteronomy 31:8). These words, given to Israel and echoed throughout Scripture, are a reminder that God’s presence is not conditional—it’s constant.

In this episode, we take refuge in the truth that we are never truly alone. God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Jesus Himself was forsaken on the cross so that we never have to be. So when the silence feels loud and the loneliness deep, remember: the Lord goes before you, walks beside you, and holds you fast. Take courage—He is with you.
