Are you feeling alone?


Hello my dear friend.

It's been too long. I've missed you.

For those of you who are new to the LIVE JOY LETTERS, from my heart to yours, these little letters are meant to fill you up with the love and joy of God.

Have you ever felt completely alone surrounded by people?

There are moments in life when no matter how many loved ones you have around, no matter how many friends or family members are nearby, it still feels like you are all alone.

I've been experiencing this lately. The grief I felt over the loss of my mom almost 12 years ago seems to have surfaced in a new way as I venture through a new experience in life I wish she could be apart of.

Grief, pain, loss, diagnosis, disease - the list goes on - all have a way of isolating you from the ones who love you. Especially from God. It's like the enemy knows, at your weakest place, he can sneak it to whisper lies.

"Where is your God now?"

"Why would He leave you this way?"

"Why would He do this to you?"

Lies. Untruths. Deception.

You see, my friend, it is impossible for you to be seperated from the One who created you. His spirit abides WITH IN each and every one of you.

Sometimes, masked by pain, it's just hard for you to feel His presence. But I promise it's there.

Today, if you feel like me, a little alone, and a lot isolated, take a step away from all the lies. Take a short stroll in nature to hear His voice. Talk OUT LOUD to Him and wait for Him to respond. Reach out to one friend or relative you know will pray for you or lift you up.

You are NOT a burden to them. They want to be there for you.

Whatever you do my friend, don't believe the lies.

God says “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

You've got this my friend.

We are in this together.

I'll be sharing much more of this journey on IG @sonyajoymack and #ThisChangesEverythingBook I would love for you to join along.
