Journey with Hope

Loneliness is one of the worst experiences we can have. Often the holidays are some of the worst times for feeling lonely. As young people we find ourselves surrounded by people and yet often alone.

God's Response to Loneliness The Lord knew that loneliness was not a good thing. He s

God has spoken—are we truly listening? Too often our prayers are filled with requests, but we don’t pause to hear His voice.

James 1:22 calls us to be doers, not just hearers. God listens to us—will we listen to Him?
