Topic: DISTANCE (10/08/20)
There are times that I like to be alone, and do some activities on my own such as walking, swimming, writing, and drawing. Other times I feel isolated when I couldn't attend church in person because of covid-19. I can hear a sermon on T.V or on my phone.

At the present time, I have to register to go to church online because they limit the number of people the sanctuary to 60 people. In a few months it will be Christmas time when we had choir, and the church would fill up with people during our Christmas Eve service. We don't know what is going to happen to us this Christmas season. We might have to still keep our distance.

I try to keep in touch with God, and not feel isolated from him after what I had gone through such as a car accident in the summer time. I need him more than ever. I felt so distant from Him. Sometimes I feel like a bad person. I need constant prayer.

First of all I'm so sorry you're feeling isolated. It's hard right now. Please reach out if you want someone to talk to.

I think you have the beginning of a good devotion here.

What if you started it in a story format - maybe relive the car accident - then move into what's happening now and the hopes/fears about Christmas.

Also a bible verse would really help the impact

Blessings and Gratitude

I know being away from our regular gatherings are hard. At least your church can meet. My state has banned indoor church services.

God is still with you, but like I've read tonight, the feeling of His presence is a mindset. Don't give up on Him--hold on to His anchoring lifeline.

Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in how you feel. Pick out two or three comforting Bible verses and memorize them. “He will never leave you....” Heb. 13:5. Reach out to someone that you can talk to.
