We all face times of loneliness, doubt, anxiety, and suffering. These can be terrible experiences, but God can make them blessings. In this four-part series you’ll discover how some of your worst moments can be turned into special times of healing and intimacy with God.

In this first episode of Deepening Your Love for Christ, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals how seasons of loneliness—though painful—can be transformed into sacred opportunities to draw near to Christ. Rooted in Psalm 142, Dr. Youssef boldly proclaims that true believers can experience deeper intimacy with Jesus when they embrace their isolation as a divine appointment. He distinguishes the hopeless loneliness of unbelievers from the holy loneliness of God’s people, urging listeners not to waste such moments. Instead of turning inward, we must cry out to the Lord who listens, understands, feels our pain, is our portion, and sets us free to praise Him. In a culture drowning in distraction and deception, this episode calls the Church to repentance, spiritual clarity, and a renewed love for the Lord Jesus Christ.
