When all around my soul gives way

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”-Isaiah 55:8-9

Lately I've been feeling very uncomfortable. Not like an awkward uncomfortable or anything like that but just like I'm not where I belong, like some things just don't fit right. In these uncomfortable times, I feel very alone. There are people all around me most of the time, and yet I feel alone. I feel like no one understands or no one cares. I think I'm learning that God does this to force me to lean on Him and only Him.

Usually when something is wrong I run to another person to talk about it or to get my mind off of things. That or I just close myself off from the world. I need to run to God instead. Friends are good and they're here for me but God is my best friend and He will never leave my side. He's the one with the real answers and that's what I need to remember.

God knows better than I do. God knows better than anyone else does.
