Saturday of Lent 2, March 11

I feel so alone.

This can be a hard and lonely world! But as a child of God, you are never alone. 

Where shall I go from your Spirit?

    Or where shall I flee from your presence?

If I ascend to heaven, you are there!

    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!

If I take the wings of the morning

    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

even there your hand shall lead me,

    and your right hand shall hold me.  ~ Psalm 139:7-10

READ: Here’s a story about when one of God’s own prophets felt alone! That even happened to great prophets! But God was with him, and with you.

LISTEN: Here's a hymn (LSB #768) that's also a prayer for God the Holy Spirit to be with us in our times of need.

REACH OUT to others in your church. If you don't have a church, search for a local church that can help you. I would recommend a local Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod congregation!

Dear Jesus, sometimes You were alone, but You weren’t alone - Your Father was with You. When I feel alone, help me remember that You are with me. Amen.

If your heart is so moved by the Scriptures, thoughts, and prayers of this week, consider making a donation of Lenten alms to help families and children in need of adoption by donating to Abba or to Second Story.
