Alone | A Word on Isolation, Healing, and Godly Community

Introduction

You.

You have a past of isolation.  Fear.   Doing everything alone.  Over time, you’ve grown accustomed to these dispositions.  I'm writing to tell you that this is your moment.  It’s time.  It’s time for newness in the way you approach battles and relationships.  It's time to heal . .  .  And you can’t do it alone.  You can’t become healed alone. You can’t become free alone. You can’t understand alone. You can’t progress alone. You can’t overcome without another.  Alone, you can do nothing.  You are not meant to; God knows.

“The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a helper suitable for him.”

—Genesis 2:18

Prayer

Father,

Thank You for Your love expressed though godly community. 

I admit my fears regarding depending on 

those you surrounded me with to help and love me.

Allow Your Spirit of peace to rest on me,

and lead me to be vulnerable with them

for my healing and continual sustenance.

Soften my heart and mind.

Speak to me, Lord.

In Your Son, Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Godly Community

    God loves you, so much so that He places in your life others through whom He expresses His love to you. He gives you godly community.

    The Spirit of God will bring you healing through loving relations, intimacy, trust, and vulnerability in your relationship with Him, divinely-aligned friendships, and in your God-given, godly community. 

    Healing requires vulnerability. You have to share openly to heal. You have to release your thoughts— particularly fears, worries and anxieties— to others God placed in your life so that they can pour into you by responding with affirmation, encouragement, exhortation, comfort, and the truth.  You have to bare the dark spaces for them to encounter white light; for light to shine upon them.  

    Healing doesn’t only come by words. Healing also seeps in through hugs, acceptance, affirmation, reassurance, quality time, laughter, and silent understanding.  

    Healing is a significant step in becoming whole in soul.  Wholeness in soul is in pursuit of you.  Without godly friendship, you cannot become whole.  With them, wholeness is yours.  

   Don’t shy away from spending time with divine (God-given) friends.  Trust unconditionally.  Open up. Be vulnerable.  You can’t do anything alone.
