Jesus And Mental Illness

Pain

Pain

Maybe right now, you are struggling with pain. Maybe it's mental pain, physical pain, or spiritual pain. No matter what kind of pain you are dealing with: God is here to help you through and He understands your pain.

As you all know if you have been reading my devotionals for a while: I am struggling with physical pain for the past seven months. It's been horrible and I still have no answer to why I am having so much pain. I am seeing a pain doctor this month so hopefully he can help me. But pain is tough. I do know that God is right beside me, holding my hand, and encouraging me to keep going.

God is right beside you, right now! He is holding your hand and telling you to keep going. God understands our pain. So tell Him about your feeling towards your pain. If you are mad at Him because of your pain, that's okay just be sure to talk to Him about it. But He is big enough to handle all your feelings, even anger towards Him.

Just remember that God NEVER promised us a life without pain. But He did promise us that we would have trials and pain. He promised to always be there for us, even in our darkest moments: He is here! So go to Him! Run into His loving, helping, forgiving, and comforting arms. He is here to help you through your pain.

Remember: that this pain, won't last forever. "This too shall pass." So just hold on to God and know that things WILL get better. You CAN and WILL get through this. I believe in you. God believes in you. I love you. God loves you more than you can ever imagine.

Verses:

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11

"Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God , your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Prayer:

Dear God

,I am really struggling right now. But instead of doubting you and getting angry at you. Help me use this time to grow closer to you. Help me build a strong relationship with you. Please come into my heart and fill me with your love, goodness, strength, joy, and peace.

I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.

In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!
