Single Struggles: Dying Alone

Table for One Ministries • October 28, 2013

No matter what the age, relationships status, or amount of friends a person has, the idea of “dying alone” can come from seemingly nowhere and overtake our thoughts to the point of fear and anxiety. Satan would like us to think that we are alone and if we do not take action into our own hands then we will certainly die alone. One thing is true, we all will die. Once sin entered into the world death also came as a consequence of that action.

Another thing that’s true, we do not have to die alone. One thing remains: God’s great love in sending Christ to die for our sins while we were sinners and undeserving of such a sacrifice! You will never face death alone in Christ! Our relationship status on earth with others does not guarantee us anything in our afterlife. Our fears of death come from emotions of insecurity of what is to come. As a Christ follower we can take peace that Christ has risen from the dead and conquered the unknown so we are never alone, even in death, with Him by our side.

“One Thing Remains”

Higher than the mountains that I face

Stronger than the power of the grave

Constant through the trial and the change

One thing… Remains [repeat]

[Chorus:]

Your love never fails, never gives up

Never runs out on me [3x]

On and on and on and on it goes

It overwhelms and satisfies my soul

And I never, ever, have to be afraid

One thing remains

[Bridge:]

In death, In life, I’m confident and

covered by the power of Your great love

My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can

separate my heart from Your great love..
