there are times in our lives when we hurt. times when we just cant function, when we just feel dragged down, beat up, and depressed. and as a result we just wallow in our misery. and what causes this? why do we get in these funks? its not as if we ask to be. we certainly would rather feel happy. wed rather be out there enjoying life. wed rather be out there spending time with our friends, and family. wed rather be out there doing the things we love, traveling to interesting places, and having fun. but instead we are just miserable. a lot of it has to do with the fact that the world can be harsh sometimes. we sometimes face things that are difficult to deal with. things like being ill for long periods of time, or watching those we love suffer through illness. we have to eventually face the loss of loved ones, who we never feel like we got enough time with. we loss our jobs, or our homes. we face wars, and a harsh, unforgiving economy, and it all becomes unbearable. and it all really just takes its toll. it drains us. faced with constant hardship we tend to just feel like giving up. the weight is too much to bear, and we feel like crawling up into a ball and cutting ourselves off from everything. the thing is we dont need to feel this way. there is no need for us to suffer so. for while the world may be harsh and unforgiving, we have a God who is bigger than the world, and anything that it can possibly throw at us. all we need to do is to call out to Him, and He will rescue us from our suffering. He will heal our hearts, restore our spirits, and replace our pain with the limitless love He has for us. through Him we can, and will, have peace. so, my friends, if you are hurting, if your heart is in pain and you just wish to feel better, to be better, call on God, He hears you, He loves you, and He knows your pain, and it will bring Him great joy to remove that pain from you, so you can go enjoy the amazing life He has in store for you. in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.-1 Peter 2:24(ESV) Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.-3 John 1:2(ESV) Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.-1 John 4:4(ESV) 14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, Peter’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever. 15 But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left her. Then she got up and prepared a meal for him. 16 That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. 17 This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, “He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”-Matthew 8:13-17(NLT) And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.-James 5:15(ESV) But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.-Isaiah 53:5(NLT) Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.-Jeremiah 17:14(ESV)
