"For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Heb 4:15-16
There are times in all of our lives that we wonder if we are going to make it. Life can at times be so oppressive that we begin to lose both hope and faith. Typically these times are when we are alone and the feelings are amplified in the dark of night. If you are anything like me, you add anything that could possibly be the slightest inconvenience or discomfort to the plate and just worry about it all at the same time.
Beloved we must know that we have one who knows and cares. Recall Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. Even the son of God suffered mightly under the weight of things that plagued him. His suffering was amplified by the fact that those closest in the world to him failed him by not staying awake and watching with him as he prayed. How utterly alone he must have felt. Is this anything to with which you can even come close to identifying?
The Lord has been where you are and felt what you have felt. As Christians, we at no time should think that we are alone in whatever situation we may be enduring. The Lord knows. The Lord cares deeply. You will find him to be a very present help in a time of need. "...weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning." Psa 30:5
In Revival,
