Savior, help me open myself to safe people—those who have known their own pain and are open to help.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

I read those words often, “You’re not alone.” Sometimes I find them comforting because it implies that the speaker/writer is reaching out for us. And knowing that we’re not alone can be immensely helpful on our journey.

And yet, even though we’re not alone because others love and help us, in another sense we are alone—a reality we must face.

We do the inner work ourselves; we have to feel the pain, the doubts, and the self-accusations. However, no one in the world knows exactly what we go through.

We are alone because the battle is within—a place others can’t go.

Think of it this way. We were victimized in isolation—our perpetrators sought us out, groomed us, separated us from others, and then molested us. Healing means going back into the place of segregation from others. Our problems started there; our victories arise from there.

This isn’t to rule out the help of others—and we do need others. But the battle is ours alone.
