Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be COMFORTED. - Matthew 5:4 Part 2

COMFORT

     I longed to feel comforted but I was in so much pain, nothing anyone said could’ve soothed my breaking heart. But still that longing was there. There were many that held me, kissed me, rocked with me while I cried, talked to me, listened to me and were just there. Everyone in their own way made sure that they could provide some comfort for me during my most difficult time. I will always remember that. It meant so much to me and it’s truly in those times that you find out who really cares for you.

     The comfort I truly needed, I turned my back on due to anger and hurt. I couldn’t understand why God would allow this to happen. I couldn’t pray due to anger. Every fiber in my being longed for an explanation but there was none. My attempts to pray left me on my knees, in tears

MOURNING 

     In the dictionary the word “mourning” is defined as “Sorrow, lamentation, grief; To express sadness or sorrow for; to grieve over.” Mourning is something we usually do when there is loss, loss of a person or thing.

Pray for Me

"Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed." James 5:16

Isn't it good to have a best friend whom you feel like you can share everything with? Share your deepest and innermost thoughts and transgressions? James says here that we ought to confess our trespasses to one another. How hard is that! It may be especially hard when

Worrywart? Do not worry about your life...Luke 12:22-26

"Then Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?’” (Luke 12:22-26, NIV)

I find myself worrying a lot sometimes and on the other hand, I just don't worry about things that I should be worried about.

Worrying is a vicious cycle that has no end because one thought leads to the next which leads to the next and it goes on and on and on. But what if we decide not to worry about things and actually took all our worries to Jesus Christ? Wouldn't that be
