Alone and Far

"Even a solitary one who is in Israel is allowed in the end of the world---1,000 miles are before him.  [Yet] God breaks through and also brings him near."  - seder Eliahu Zuta, ch 14

This midrash acknowledges that just keeping faith, even when feeling abandoned and lonely, is enough for God to draw the far distances into inches.
