Christians are not alone in the storms, hurts, fears, and pains in life. There was a man who walked a perfect and sinless life, who went through His own feeling of loneliness by being abandoned and or feeling forsaken. He didn’t look forward to the cross, but He finished what He started…and in so doing, He endured unimaginable pain and suffering, yet through all that, He left us with a source of encouragement..a source of hope…knowing pain and suffering is never wasted or has the final word for the one who loves Him, and also gives us motivation. Knowing that He walked down a path of pain, suffering, loneliness, mistreated, etc etc out of love…so we wouldn’t feel like we are alone, and or have do it alone, then we ourselves can be sources of light in the midst of our own sufferings. We can be a shining light the way the light of the world was while on the cross, still radiating His love for mankind, reaching down with compassion out of love and mercy to even those who despised Him, even in His most agonizing state. Instead of allowing life to darken our light in our darkest moments, we need to try to be able to be the best example to others as Jesus was in His. The light of the world outshone the darkest moment in history by defeating death. If it takes us going through hard times to show His love to others, and in the process glorifying God through it all, then we are blessed to be able to do so.

This song recently posted on the Mining thread is appropriate here also (by Russ Taff, "I'm Not Alone"):

Sometimes it feels like I'm out here pushing
Banging my head against the wall
And I wonder where you are, I'm so alone.

It all seems so ordinary
Just marking time without reason
It's so hard to be here feeling all alone.

Chorus:
But when I close my eyes
I know you are here, near me again
And when I close my eyes
You feel the prayer I breathe
I hear you say my name; I'm not alone

I see the problem very clearly
It's a tug-of-war in my soul
Between choosing to believe Or feeling alone.

My heart is telling me not to worry
But my head isn't yielding
It insists on feeling left all alone.

(repeat chorus)
 
There is nothing uncommon with man we all go through the same type of trills, the problem is we thank that we are the only ones going through them, or if we talk about our struggles with others, they will turn their backs on us. I am so thankful that we have a Father that is both loving in that He sets the boundaries for us, and they do not change but they do grow as we mature in our relationship with Him. He also loves us enough to put people in our lives to help us through the hard times.
Makes me thank of the pome Footprints; He carries us through the hardest of times.
