“Jesus Understands Our Struggles”
Written by Pastor Seong Hwang

Oftentimes, when I talk to my son, who is now 6, he will share some of his current struggles at school. My common reply is, "I understand what you're going through," and I attempt to give some advice to help him. I can say that in confidence because I also went through similar growing pains.
I can picture Jesus, speaking words of comfort to his people in times of heavy distress or worry, 'I understand.' Jesus, who is fully God, and fully Man, suffered much and died for our sake. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus defeated Satan and freed us from fear of death. Because of Jesus, death has become a doorway to spending all of eternity with our heavenly Father.  
Jesus suffered pain and faced many trials and temptations. He understands what we go through. We can trust in Him. Let us hold tightly to this truth of Jesus, and no matter what distress, concerns, or worry might come our way, we will cling on to the hope we profess in Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Lord, I pray that we will seek and find you in our times of difficulty and distress. Lord, fill us with your Holy Spirit and with all the hope, comfort, peace, and strength we need for today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
