I Prayed "Father I Feel So Lonely." God's Answer Moved Me To Tears

Oct 22, 2018 by apost team

Lindsay Davis from Redding, California told the world about the day her life was changed forever. And not just her life, she herself was changed forever.

"I was taking a class called "Developing Intimacy with God." We finished the class with a prayer. Talking directly to God, this is when I stated that I felt so lonely.

He responded directly to me with "I miss you too". I was very confused. How did he miss me? I was right there, all the time, he knew that because he put me there. I felt it had nothing to do with what I had said to him. I wanted to know what he meant by telling me that.

He let me know exactly what he meant. He said that it has everything to do with what I had said to him. He led on to show me that loneliness really doesn't exist. It's basically just a lie. He responded further to let to me know that I don't include him in every part of my life, like he wants to be included. I only include him in the spiritual parts that I think is necessary. God kept on going to let me know that he was with me for my entire life, through the church, through play, and through things I really didn't want him present for - everything that had ever happened. He had never left my side. He was waiting for me, waiting for me to let him just be in my life.

I fell apart. I began crying. I knew I had made a mistake but really didn't know what I needed to change. I asked what it would be like if I didn't just include him in the spiritual aspects of my life.

His response blew me away. He let me know that he would be sitting there, smiling over me every morning. I would hear him speaking to me and feel him starting my day with him.

He said it's as simple as having my friend right there with me. It's guidance, as easy as asking which makeup I should use that day. He gave me the gift of art and wants me to use it but also wants to be there to help me along with it. I mean who's guidance in makeup could be any better than God's, the creator - no one!

He went on to let me know that it would be like he is right there with me in the car on the drive to school. He said it would be encouraging others daily to believe in him. He would be there to eat lunch with me. He would be there at the grocery store. He even told me he wanted to hear about my day and how I felt about it. He wanted to know when my days were bad and he would be there to listen. He wanted to be my rock and comfort me. He said he could handle all of my heartaches on bad days and support all of my needs.

He let me know that he doesn't just want to be there for the "spiritual things" in my life, but he wants to experience all of life with me. He wants me to read his word and through the word, I would be able to experience the mysteries of his kingdom.

He wants to watch me worshiping but he also wants to go to the park with me and just "hang out". He wants to hear my prayers but also to be there to talk with me during quiet time like when I am bored at work.

He wants to give me the best, most powerful, unexplained spiruuatusl experiences but also wants to just be there in all the other moments of my life.

He explained to me that I was created to have a relationship with him, not a church. I was to continue this relationship ALL the time, not just when praying, worshiping, or in a time of need.

He wanted to let me know that he loves me. He wants to spend every second with me here on earth just the same as the rest of my eternity.

At that moment, my life changed. I had a peace come over me that opened my heart.

After that, everything changed, and it changed a lot.

When I worshipped, I didn't just sing the songs anymore. Each word had a complete meaning to me. I finally understood what I was singing about for the first time.

I was no longer trying to find God. I knew he was there. I felt him there sitting with me, hand on my hand.

I finally realized that he had been there the whole time just waiting for me to open my heart to him. He was waiting for me to let him in and allow him to change me into who I am today. I now see him in a completely different light.

I am changed, forever."
