Whether I recognize it or not, i am not the only one walking around with hurts, scars and open wounds.
Anxiety can rob us of the enjoyment of life. The causes of anxiety are numerous: health, work (or lack of it), finances (debt, unpaid bills and so on) and much else besides.
Pain... whether it is physical or emotional is difficult to handle. When we feel pain everything within us paralyze. All our system will not function properly.

When we are in pain, we cry. We grieve. We think. We overreact. We think we are alone. We feel distress. We feel depress. We are too emotional. We feel sad. We want someone's else help. We just want that pain to be gone like a snap in one finger and viola the pain will be gone.
But... what will we do if these hopes that we want when we are in pain doesn't exist. What if.. there is no one who will help us even if there is someone we knows, they are just there like too near but yet too far. What if...?
We all want to be well. We all want a happy life. We all want somebody. We all want someone. But happiness is a choice. We don’t need anyone’s approval to be happy. We can be happy inspite of....any circumstances along our way. Along our journey. We are not just what our medical prescription or diagnosis says we are.
But how?? If Christ is in us then we have an infinite number of hopeful and wonderful possibilities, all headed towards healing and joy and for that pain to be gone. God is always, always doing us good. He will use our problems to do us good. He will use our hardships to do us good. He will use our issues to do us good. He will use our grief to do us good. He doesn’t need goodness to do us good. He is a God who can make beauty from ashes and joy from heaviness.
God promise closeness and companionship not just communion. We belong to God and we are loved by Him. God search us and He knows us. He know all our thoughts from afar. God will teach us how to trust in His timing for our life, and His power for our healing.
Nothing matters more than knowing God’s purposes for our life, and nothing can compensate for not knowing them, not success, wealth, fame, or pleasure. Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason. Without a purpose, life is trivial, petty, and pointless.
God can/will sustain us. He is the reason why we will be happy. Draw our strength to God. He can deliver us from all the pains and all discomforts that we are facing. He is our great God. Let's Fully Rely On God.
“Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” PSALM 27:10 (NLT)
The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? (NLT) ( Psalm 118:6 )
