Did You Think to Pray?

Sometimes you honestly feel like nobody understands your pain. No, that's not a melodramatic statement. That's not teenage angst. You feel so helpless, and you think that nobody can understand what you feel, because even YOU don't understand what you feel. My advice: Talk to somebody who went through EXACTLY what you feel right now, somebody who did it all alone, who has felt your pain, and come through on the other side. Jesus Christ suffered for our sakes, not just our sins. He felt our pain, shared our sorrows, shuddered under the burden of sin and temptation. He has hurt deeply, so that He can have pure, true empathy for our situations. Say a prayer. Shout, cry, say what you need to, and then give God a chance to talk. Because He made it, and He knows how to help you do the same. I promise that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can give you comfort, advice, and strength if you go to them. That's testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
