Faith and doubts
Loneliness in faith
Feeling distant from God or from the community, even while still believing.
What the Bible can tell you
Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
Psalms 25:16
not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:25
Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them, for the LORD your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
A human reading
Sometimes faith is lived alone. That does not mean you are outside God's love. Finding a community or a spiritual guide can accompany you on the path.
