Not Alone

As a family practice doctor, I often get insight into people’s darkest secrets. People are suffering. They are struggling with their finances and having trouble paying their bills. The cost of feeding themselves and their family is going up while their pay has stagnated or gone down. They are having conflict with their spouses. They are struggling to pay their rent. Some feel trapped in loveless marriages. Life is not turning out anything like they had planned. Many are struggling with this privately while trying to show the rest of the world that everything is just fine. They usually isolate themselves and feel all alone in this world. It is time for all of us to end all of this suffering in silence. Turn to those around you. People that seem to “have it all together” may be in the exact same boat that you are. Turn to God. You just might find out that you are really not “all alone” after all.
