Throughout our lives, we inevitably will face heart wrenching, painful experiences. At such times, we may feel despondent and alone, unable to even imagine a way out. We cannot see beyond our pain. But we can take heart and find encouragement in God’s Word. Psalm 147:3 (NIV) says, “He heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 94:19 (NIV) says, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me great joy.” When our lives are full of anxiety, turmoil, and chaos, and we know not where to go, we can turn to the Lord, King Jesus. We can count on our Savior every time without fail. With just one touch, He will provide consolation and joy. He will caress every hurt in our ailing hearts. Jesus will bring us peace, comfort, and strength. He will take us by the hand and walk with us through each raging storm. We rejoice in the Lord on this day, with confidence, knowing that He is a good, compassionate, and ever faithful God. As we reach out to the King of Kings, He will bring rest and calm to our souls. “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him with trust” (Psalm 145:8 NIV).
