May God's sympathy bless us, lifting us into deeper fellowship with Him!
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
⏤ Hebrews 4:15
He is never nearer than when we are tempted.
⏤ E.M. Bounds
May God's sympathy bless us, lifting us into deeper fellowship with Him! God gave us Jesus for a reason! He knows what it is like to be human and to be tempted and feel hated, abandoned, or mistreated, He knows. God gave Jesus to us to follow, reflect, imitate, and love like Him! We can count on Him to help us on this Earth School journey, He is always there for us.
The Mornings with God App today said, "O Jesus, we thank You for living this human life with us, knowing all about our experiences. You became a man. You were tempted in every way, just as we are, and understand what temptation is like. It comforts us to know that You understand our struggles and that we can rely on Your sympathy. Help us today, O Jesus, to overcome every temptation. Stand by us and do not let us fall into darkness in any moment of trial. We are also grateful that You know all about sorrow. You have experienced every depth of human pain. There is no sorrow unknown to You, no grief that You cannot understand. Life brings us sorrows, sometimes very deep ones. No human friend can fully understand them. Our loved ones want to help us but cannot take away our pain or give us true comfort. Earth has no sufficient consolation for us. So we turn to You, O Jesus, and ask for Your help in our sorrows. We want to bear them sweetly, without complaining. We want to receive the blessing that comes with every pain or suffering, a blessing that is often missed. Teach us how to suffer according to Your will. Give us true comfort that enables us to endure whatever pain or trial we must face. Help us to grow stronger and kinder in every affliction. May Your sympathy bless us, lifting us into deeper fellowship with You. We ask all this in Your precious name, Jesus our Savior. Amen."
