The Loneliness in Faith

Stories of faith encourage me–encourage many of us. We read of the struggle, pain, and the loneliness in faith that accompanies many of the greats in faith.

Need a reminder?

Prayer moves the heart of God. “… The prayer of a righteous person has great power” James 5:16 (ESV). Elijah prayed fervently and God sent showers of blessing. There were two outcomes: the people turned back to God (1 Kings 18:39-40) and the drought came to an end (1 Kings 18:41-45).

But there’s also the utter loneliness and emptiness (1 Kings 19:3-4) that proceeds to tested faith.

Not long ago I experienced loneliness in my faith.

You, Robin … Really?

Really.

The only thing that got me from one day to the next was faithful prayer warriors. Some were local, yet others were across the country. Northern states. Southern. Some lived on water, and others lived on mountains.

There's a loneliness in faith. No matter who you are, you will hit a wall and wonder if your faith is real. Share on X

Prayer Can Move the Heart of God

If someone asks for prayer, don’t take that lightly. The loneliness in faith is real. Prayers can change the heart of God.

What say you?

What do you wonder about?  Are you happy … or are you doing what you never thought you’d do? Do you see consistencies … or are you all over the place? Drop me a line. I’d love to chat.
