I feel like I'm the only one. Nobody understands.
Feeling alone doesn't mean you are alone. Elijah thought he was the only one left, but God showed him seven thousand others standing in the same place. Sometimes the people who understand are just the ones you haven't met yet.
The conversation
The child: “Daddy God, I feel like I'm the only one. Nobody understands.”
God: “Tell Me what it feels like.”
The child: “Like I'm completely alone in this.”
God: “There was a man once who felt the same way. He'd done everything I asked, and he ended up hiding in a cave on a mountain.”
The child: “Why was he hiding?”
God: “Everyone he'd fought beside seemed to have disappeared. He told Me he was the only one left.”
God: “He was so tired of being alone in it that he wanted to give up entirely.”
The child: “What did You do?”
God: “I didn't argue with his feelings. I fed him first. Then I came to the cave and asked him what was wrong.”
God: “And when he told Me the same thing — 'I'm the only one left' — I told him something he didn't know.”
The child: “What?”
God: “That there were seven thousand others he'd never met who were standing in the same place he was.”
God: “Feeling alone and being alone aren't the same thing.”
The child: “So I'm not the only one?”
God: “You never were.”
