Dr. Twerski's Sober Thought - December
December 1
We Are Never Alone
Ever since we were children, abandonment has been a source of anxiety. Psychologists state that repressed feelings continue to affect our emotions and influence our behavior. A theologian who experienced depression wrote that in his darkest moments, he was comforted by the verse: If I rise to the heavens, You are there, and if I descend into the depths, You are there too. - Psalms 139:8. While God is always with us, it is even more comforting when we can think, I have always been with Him, so why should He not be with me now? We can live a life that banishes terror of abandonment forever.
