WORLD: Five Ways Isolation Can Radically Deepen Your Faith

Source: Open Doors, March 27, 2020

Could God use this time of isolation to spark a new personal revival in our faith?

If we take to heart some of the popular stories from persecuted Christians who’ve experienced separation—some in prisons, some on house arrest, and others as secret believers cut off from any contact with Christian community because of their faith—the answer is an emphatic yes.

Here are five ways God can radically deepen our faith in times of isolation and solitude—if we’re brave enough to let him.

1. Isolation and solitude strip down our lives.
2. Isolation and solitude reveal the current that carries us.
3. Isolation and solitude form the geography for an authentic encounter with God.
4. Isolation and solitude can expand our prayer lives.
5. Isolation and solitude can increase our passion for his presence.
