RestorationSample

DAY 4. LONELINESS?

Maybe you’re the kind of person who enjoys time alone, or maybe you prefer the company of others. In fact, the Bible reminds us not to give up meeting together. Thank God for the community of faith that surrounds us, especially in times of hardship. What an honor it is to also be there for others when they need us.

But in the process of restoration, there will be moments when loneliness shows up—not as something bad, but as a gift: an invitation to a personal encounter between you and the Lord, face to face, just the two of you.

It’s worth saying—don’t grow bitter if, during your process, people step away. Sometimes, God allows the dark night of the soul to be a space where His presence alone remains. Because no one can steal His glory. Because He alone is worthy of complete trust. Because only He can truly understand you and walk with you in full intimacy.

However, if God surrounds you with the support of friends or family who encourage your faith, receive it as a gift from Him.

My prayer today is that your life would be restored by God, that His hands would shape your heart, correct your steps, and lead you into a true encounter with Him—that you would experience His love, His lordship, and His transforming power in full.

And remember: restoration happens as we walk.
