Psalm 34:18-19 says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Jesus came not only to save us from our sins, but also to help us through our emotional pains by also bearing them upon Himself. Don’t try to carry your hurts, sorrows and sadness by yourself. Let Jesus carry you through these emotions and pains.
Isaiah 53:4-5 says of Jesus, “Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities.” Jesus Christ has chosen to bear our griefs and carry our sorrows. Emotional distress and pain will come, but Jesus will see us through them if we will only give them to Him to carry.
