The good news is feeling alone doesn’t mean God isn’t with you. ✨

Sometimes, we look for Him in our hearts ❤️, but God doesn’t emerge from the heart.

If you only look for God in your heart, when we need God the most, we feel Him the least. 💔

Why? God’s presence isn’t measured by our feelings but by His promises.

Things that might help…
Remember your baptism. 💧That moment in history can’t be undone.
You can go to church ⛪
Eat and drink the body and blood of Jesus 🍞🍷
Know that as alone as you feel, you are surrounded by all the hosts of heaven. ✨

The truth is that through God’s Word and Sacraments, you are never truly alone. He is with you always, even to the end of the age. ✝️
