Day 22.

I'm starting out my blog early today. While I was looking around on facebook this week, I noticed a lot of people talking about lonliness or are getting discouraged about different things. This makes my heart very sad. First things first, You are NEVER alone! No matter what, God is with you. A friend of mine put her status as, "Always stay strong and pray. Sometimes being physically alone is your strongest weapon because God is even stronger and He will be there for you always." God tells us that we have an enemy; the devil/Satan means “the slanderer,” and “our adversary.” His name here refers to being the accuser or the prosecutor (Job 1:6-12; 2:12; Zac. 3:1-2; Rev. 12: 9-10). Peter says Satan is seeking to accuse us of wrong so he can blind us to God’s love and grace. He twists our mindsets to be ashamed or seek apostasy (because we think God does not care), or into not taking our faith seriously.When we're alone, Satan has an advantage at reaching us. He wants to tear us away from God and Heaven. 
We're not alone though, God is always with us! and there is something we can do! If you feel life is overwhelming you, seek your comfort in Christ. He does care for you! Receive His care, receive His love, and surrender your doubts, your frustrations, your concerns, and your frailty. Trust in God's love in all of your circumstances. Allow Him to be your inward peace and contentment! We are to have an attitude of accepting whatever God provides, and being happy with it. We are not to seek self-gratification or temporary happiness in the shallow things of life. The fruit of anxiety is discontent, distrust, selfishness, unhappiness, and stress, as the focus becomes your situation, and not who you are in Christ. Being discontented will prevent the work of God in your heart and your will (Proverbs 16:9; 19:21; Romans 9:19-21; Philippians. 4: 10-13; 1Timothy 6:6-9; Hebrews 13: 5).
Pray! Pray Always! God is listening, He is with you! You are NOT alone! Trust in Him and give yourself to Him. He will answer you and take care of you! 
I pray that all of you that are discouraged or lonely may pray to God. Give what you have to Him and TRUST Him. Prayer is an amazing power and I testify to you that prayer works. Be not afraid or alone, God is with you!
I say all these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
