You’re not alone.
The beauty of having the right community is that God gets all the glory and the enemy becomes powerless. The right people in your corner can help heal old wounds, offer real support, and speak life into places that once felt numb or hopeless.
Proverbs 11:14 reminds us:
“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.”
There is something truly healing about a safe, Christ-centered community. It brings comfort, peace, and a sense of belonging. It becomes a space full of compassion, where you feel safe to be vulnerable and transparent… when you otherwise wouldn’t.
Doing life alone? It’s dangerous. It’s damaging to your mental and spiritual health. It creates a false perception that you’re all alone, that no one will understand you, and that isolation is safer than intimacy.
But God.
Two simple words, yet they carry so much power. “But God” is that holy interruption. That divine plot twist. That gentle reminder that no matter what it looks like, He is still working.
Even in community, even in your loneliness… God is there.
2 Corinthians 12:9 says,
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
That truth gives us hope. You don’t have to carry it all alone. In your mess, in your brokenness, in your worry, doubt, or anxiety, you can lean into the strength of community and trust that God will send what you need, right when you need it.
When You’ve Been Hurt by People
I know what it’s like to have the very people you thought would protect you end up being the ones who hurt you the most. I know what it’s like to show up for people who vanish the moment you need them. And I know what it’s like to sit in a crowded room and still feel invisible, like no one really sees you.
So when I talk about the beauty of community, I’m not ignoring the truth that people can be messy. They can be inconsistent. They can break promises, abuse your trust, or walk away without explanation.
But here’s what I’m learning: God never meant for us to give up on connection just because we’ve been hurt by it.
He knows the wounds others have left. He sees the way you flinch at the idea of being known again. And He’s not mad at you for that.
He’s patient with your healing. He’s gentle with your scars. And in His kindness, He’s preparing the right people, people who will honor your presence, protect your heart, and sit with you in the places that still ache.
You don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to have it all together. You just have to be willing to believe that maybe… just maybe… God is still writing a story that includes healing, connection, and safe love.
And when that kind of community begins to show up? You’ll recognize it by the peace it brings. By how it reminds you that your presence matters. That you don’t have to shrink or explain or overcompensate just to be accepted.
God is still in the business of redeeming what people tried to ruin.
You are not too broken for belonging.
A Prayer for the One Who Feels Alone
Father,
For the one reading this who feels unseen, unheard, and alone, I lift them to You now.
You see every tear. Every ache. Every wall they’ve built to protect a heart that’s been wounded too many times.
They want to trust again, but fear whispers lies. They want to believe in You, but doubt clouds their view.
God, would You meet them in this place?
Not with pressure, but with peace.
Not with judgment, but with gentle love.
Show them that You are not like the ones who left, the ones who broke promises, the ones who made love feel unsafe.
Wrap them in Your presence.
Speak to the deep places they keep hidden.
Heal what was shattered.
Restore what was stolen.
And as they take small steps toward trust, be the One who holds their heart steady and secure.
You are faithful, even when faith feels hard.
You are near, even when we can’t feel You.
Let them know: they are never, ever alone.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I love you.
And more importantly, God sees you.
You are held.
A Rising Remnant
