You Don't Have To Be In Prison To Be A Prisoner

One of the loneliest experiences you can have is when you're surrounded by people who don't understand your situation, your dreams, your interests, or your sense of humor. You may feel like the psalmist who wrote, "No one stands up for me; there is no refuge for me; no one cares about me" (142:4).

How do you handle life when your most alone times are when you're with people who are supposed to understand you?

The truth is we're all pretty much into ourselves. That's part of our sinful nature and it's not pretty. Because of that, people will let you down. When that happens, you may have the tendency to grow bitter because the people in your life didn't do what you needed or expected them to do.

Don't fall into that trap. Don't allow yourself to be a prisoner. Even though you are the one left to carry the heavy load, you must guard your attitude. (Hebrews 12:15).

Jesus is the only One who completely understands the entire situation, including the encouragement we need. He is faithful! He is all you need!

In Him,
Dalinda
