“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Psalm 103:1-5

Many times in our life we face trials and heartaches that to us seem almost impossible to bear.  Jesus promised us that He would never leave or forsake us.  No matter what heartache we have and no matter what our situation, the King of Kings is with us to Comfort, Encourage, and Help us.

A very dear Pastor friend of mine has said many times in his sermons, "If satan is not attacking you all the time, then you need to do a checkup with God".  When we are not serving God like we should, when we are not bragging on Jesus, then satan doesn't have to bother with us because we are not a threat to him.

Some people have tried drugs, alcohol, adultery, and all other things, which bring disgrace on the Name of Jesus trying to escape from the heartaches, which we face.  There is no other way to be at peace in your heart except through the Blood of Jesus and the Love He gives you.

I urge you to let Jesus be your Answer in life.  He has given all to you, His very life. He can do no more for you.  It is up to you to open your heart to Him and then watch while all your problems and heartaches become bearable through the Compassion of Jesus.
