Sitting alone by the lunch table? Talking to yourself while walking to class? Don't be afraid, because you're not alone. This is exactly what I'm experiencing right now.
You probably have experienced betrayals that you have cried about in the corner of your room, heartbreaks, disappointments; these are all inevitable. This devotion is for everyone, but specially towards those who are experiencing a similar kind of problem as I am right now: isolation. I was very warmly welcomed by my classmates the first day I came to this new school last year. Everything seemed perfectly fine; a lot of people piled up to become my friends. But who knows? Things changed over time. I was no longer the girl people longed to be friends with, they started hanging out with other people, not realizing that they were leaving me alone. I was deeply hurt. I felt betrayed. I didn't think I did anything wrong that they would not want to be friends with me, I was always there for them when they needed advice, when they needed help. But then, I was alone.
Walking my ways to class, I started recalling all my memories: my friends, family, God. Right, God! I completely forgot about Him! I was so caught up in all the busy-ness in my life that I forgot to devote some of time to the loving Father that has always been there for me. I was complaining and ranting about how I was always there for my friends but then they still left me. Now I felt just like them, God always being there for me, but then I just forgot about Him when nothing is needed from Him. I felt horrible.
To not do the same kind of horrible thing (I've experienced myself) to God - I started to talk to Him. Lord, I'm in need of help. I'm alone. I'm weak. What should I do now? This is exactly what I should do: ask the Lord for advice. He has everything planned out for us, as long us we follow his paths, he promised us everlasting lives.
