Day 4: God Is With Me When I Feel Alone

There are times when we may stray from God, but God is always with us wherever we are.

Part 1: God is with you—God is for you

Days 4–10

For the next seven days, we will explore an often-overlooked truth: God’s presence is not only real—it’s constant.

God shows His amazing presence with us in subtle and surprising ways. We tend to believe that God’s is present in specific moments and circumstances: when we attend church, when we pray, or in times of crisis.

But the reality is deeper—God is present in and between those times.

The challenge is becoming increasingly aware of His presence in everything we do—in all our moments, circumstances, relationships, and thoughts.

In the first three days we built a foundation of experiencing God in all we do. Begin practicing the daily exercises more often and more intentionally. Repeat them slowly. Revisit the ones that resonate the most with you. Go slowly so you can recognize the reality of God’s presence with you.

Let the devotions this week open your eyes to the reality that God is with you—He is for you—in every breath, ever challenge, and, especially in every wonderful moment.

Day 4: God Is with Me When I Feel Alone

Your loneliness isn’t a sign of God’s absence—
but an invitation to recognize His presence

Scripture: Psalm 139:7–10

Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there! If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.

God is never late. Never distracted. Never far away.
He is present now.

There is no place that is too dark, no pain too deep, or distance too far for His spirit to reach you. Wherever you go—whether into silence or sorrow, celebration, or struggle—God is already there.

You don’t have to call out for His presence.
You don’t have to get back to where God is.
Because He never left.
You only have to notice Him.

When we feel disconnected, we often assume God has moved. But in truth, it’s our awareness that has drifted—not His presence. God isn’t waiting for you to get back to where He is… because He never left.

In celebrations or sorrows, victory, or defeat, focus or distraction—even there, God’s hand is ready to lead you.
His right hand is holding you even when you can’t feel it.

You can rest in this truth today:
God is not only near.
He is here.

Practice: Finding God in the Ordinary

Pause at three points during your day—once in the morning, once midday, and once in the evening. At each point, stop and pray:

“God, show me where You are right now.”

Look around. Notice. Feel your breath. Feel the support of your chair. Notice the quiet stirrings around you.

God is not waiting in the next moment.
He is here. Now.

Journaling Prompt

When have I recently felt far from God?
How could I have opened my heart to His presence in those instances?

Let your writing become a doorway to deeper awareness.

Closing Blessing

Wake up to the holiness around you.

Recognize God’s presence,
not just in the wind,
but in your breath.

Let his hand gently guide you today:
in the traffic, in the silence,
in the busyness, in the daydreaming.

And remember:
You are never alone.
You are always held.
God is here now.

Pray as You Go

Inhale: You are here now...
Exhale: ... You are with me
