Day 22 – You’re Not Alone by Mavis Staples

Here we are again. It’s a message we need to hear in a multitude of ways from as many different voices as we can. You are not alone. Your broken heart is unique, but broken hearts abound. Your tears are your own, but tears are shed every day by a multitude. You are not alone. God does not abandon you in your hurt and your grief, and will not leave you forever in this season. If you are feeling alone, maybe the Lenten practice for the day is to make one phone call, to reach out- and to hear these words again. If you aren’t feeling alone, maybe it is to call someone you think might need a friendly voice.
