I want to share something that gives us hope in the dark of troubles and isolations. Circumstances droves us alone in solitude where we think that God is silent, not transcendent to care for us.
One night, I saw my grand daughter crying outside their room, I talked to her with a loving word, IA (Victoria) why?" as her tears rolled down to her face, she pointed to their closed door and cried aloud, ..Mommy! Mommy!. Then my wife took her to our room pacifying the longing and desire to be with her mom. Deth, my daughter in law was 5 months pregnant and she had difficulty in taking care of her little Ia. The kid felt isolated, she wanted to be with her mom, but in no way she would be attended to.
King David has the same expression in Psalm 22:1 He said;
My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Why are You so far from helping Me,
And from the words of My groaning?
According to Nelson Commentary;
With the words My God, My God, David expresses a painful sense of separation from God at a time of great trouble (38:21). These words were quoted by Jesus while in agony on the Cross (Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:34).
God made us communal creatures to live within a fellowship of others like ourselves. From the Trinity’s eternal, joyous fellowship we derive all our yearnings for fellowship. Only by associating with God, and those called to him through Christ, we do find an end to loneliness and isolation.
