I have been going through what seems like the 'Dark Night of the Soul' so to speak. I've been through so many challenges and obstacles such as loss of a job, loss of friends, certain family members alienating themselves from me, financial devastation, marital issues, death of a family member, etc. I've become so utterly depressed and don't know how much more I can take. I've been feeling so lonely and isolated and don't have anyone to talk to about my feelings. I can't afford therapy and have no health insurance. I've been praying for help and for someone from my soul family to come into my life so that I can have someone that I resonate with and understands me - someone that I can talk to about spiritual matters. So far my prayers have not been answered. I'm trying to understand why I'm going through all of this and why I have to go through it all alone - no one in my immediate circle really understands me and what I'm going through so it's really frustrating.

Dear Beloved One,

You are not alone, even if you feel alone. There are those within the Realms of Light who are watching over you and who are guiding your progress forward, even if you do not have anyone to speak with on the physical plane. These unseen helpers are eager to help you gain knowledge and understanding in keeping with your soul's purpose for incarnating, and so if you call upon them they will assist you in a more conscious way than has been the case.

Sometimes, it happens that isolation becomes a gift in that it stimulates a turning toward the inner planes and inner reality for sustenance. In this case, your life is pointing you in this direction. Call upon those helpers in the Realms of Light that are overseeing your progress. Ask them to show you what you are meant to learn and where you are meant to be. There is a world of riches inside you and to some degree it is requiring your being alone at this time so that you can discover it. Making contact with those who seek to help you will leave you feeling more supported and less alone, even as you wait for spiritual friends to manifest on the physical plane.

Blessings, dear one. You are loved by those who are guiding your footsteps forward. Julie Redstone
