I had a conversation with a friend this week on how we as individuals will never agree on everything. It’s true. We all have different opinions, beliefs, values, etc. However, there’s one thing I know we’d all agree on.
Life’s hard. It’s messy—full of pain.
We can’t go through it without being touched by some sort of suffering. Impossible.
So what do we do about it? How do we handle it?
Some run and hide. They may throw themselves into their work or take up an activity to keep busy. Others may do something more destructive like an addiction of some sort.
It just hurts too much to face what we’re going through.
But there’s hope. There’s One who can help.
Jesus.
All we need to do is run to Him. He’ll keep us in the palm of His huge hands, never wavering from our side.
He’ll steady our hearts.
Is there something you need to leave with Him? Trust Him and let Him steady your heart. How can I pray for you?
Steady My Heart (by Kari Jobe)
This song not only has a catchy beat to it but powerful words. Listen to them and then run to Him! He’ll steady your heart.
Yes, Darlene life is messy, full of disappointments and filled with pain. I have reached your point where Christ is the answer to my suffering. I owe everything to God. He delivered me from evil and introduced me to Christ. Jesus relieves us from the troubles caused by sin and the more I embrace Him a greater peace comes placing distance between my times of distress. Thanks for a beautiful and encouraging post centered in God’s truths. I Loved the song. God bless you, your family and friends.
Hi, Walter. Yes, Jesus is always there for us . . . even when we don’t feel Him in those deep, hard times. He’s there! Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad the post and song were encouraging. Kari has some amazing songs. God bless you and yours as well!
