He Will Carry You Through

When you're going through a trial..where do you turn? When you lost your baby, or received a terminal diagnosis, or your home burned down along with all of your precious mementos of a life well lived...or you lost your job, or got divorced, or any of the plethora of things we endure in this life...who did you look to?
Did you maybe turn to the bottle, to numb the hurt? Did you sink down and allow yourself to be crushed under your momentuous pain? Did you turn to loved ones, or find a therapist, or just plain push the pain and hurt far down where you could try to forget about it?
Or did you turn to God in faith? Did you lay your burden down at his feet, and beg for His grace and mercy?
Did you share with Him your misery, and ask how you could possibly endure it? Or why you had to?
God loves you. You are His. He knew what this life would be when He sent you here, and knew you would have to endure loss, rejection, unimaginable pain, terror, sorrow, heartbreak, and anger.
He knew you would want to sink into the depths and stay there. But He gave us a Savior, someone who has felt all the pain we could ever know. He wants you to turn to Him with your pain. He wants to give you peace and understanding. So have faith. Lay your burden down, and He will carry you through it. We will never go through something we can't get through, because He makes up the difference we lack on our own. He will give you hope. He will give you love and joy and peace. You are never alone, and He will carry you through.
