It’s natural to want to be alone when you’re sad or depressed. It helps distance yourself from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a time to plead with God in prayer. Without distractions, you can focus on the issue and tune into God’s frequency. The only caveat to this isolation is not to be there too long. Allow God to comfort and console you, then get back into life. Too much isolation can be detrimental. Plus, returning from the isolation, God will send people to help you through the situation. It’s His way of being present in your life, it’s His response, a tangible answer to your prayers. Welcome the time to be alone. Grow closer to God. Align your spirit with His, allow it to be recharged. Then rejoin your normal activities and look for God to provide solace through some of His people. We are His Hands and Feet.
As soon as Jesus heard the news, He left in a boat to a remote area to be alone.
