You may feel alone at times, but the truth is that you are never alone! A key to unwrapping this truth is to read the word of God. You will find over and over again that God is with His children. Once you discover that God will never leave you, you will be filled with gratitude. Gratitude changes our perspective! It is a key to remembering who God is!

In a message on gratitude, Pastor Allen said, “Gratitude completely changes your ability to receive from God. On the other hand, a lack of gratitude, being unthankful, unappreciative, being filled with that kind of ingratitude, hardens your heart.” We need to keep our hearts soft so that we remember the truth about who God is. He is always with us.
You Are Never Alone. Truths From Psalm 139.
God has written a book about all of your days, because He loves you and has a purpose for your life.
“Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them” (Psalm 139:16).
There are times in life when we feel like we’re between a rock and a hard place. It can feel dark and lonely with no way out. Reading these verses out loud will remind your soul that you are never alone.
“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me” (Psalm 139:7-10).
Declare it today!

Application
The people of Israel were complaining about being in the wilderness. “They said to Moses, ‘Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?'” (Exodus 14:11). They forgot what God had done for them. They were led out of Egypt by a miracle of God, but the cares of life hardened their hearts.
Remember what God has done in your life. Take a moment to write down every prayer that He has answered. You are probably living in an answered prayer right now. Thank Him for that! Thank Him for what He will do, too! He is not finished with you!
Above all, thank Him for His presence. He IS all around you! Thank Him for the air in your lungs, and before you know it, you will be thanking Him for so many things! When you live in a posture of gratitude, you begin to see the truth that you are never alone!
Prayer
Jesus, thank you that I am never alone! You go before me to prepare the way. Your presence surrounds me and gives me strength! I know that your ways are higher than my ways. I declare that you are with me! Amen.
