Consider

Your car is broke. Your job is in jeopardy. A loved one is ill. Your friend is mad at you. A co-worker does not like you and is spreading rumors and ill will. You can’t pay some of your bills. You may not be able to buy that present for your child for Christmas. Your in pain, your depressed. You are experiencing the deepest pit you have ever been in.

Consider this. Jesus died on the cross for you. He endured pain and agony. He was beaten. He was berated, dismissed and cursed. All for you. He was born so that he would die for us, for our sins. Because he loves us. We are his children.

Even in the rough times, the hard times, the unbearable times. Put this in your heart and remember.

Isaiah 40:28

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

Isaiah 40:29

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Hebrews 2:18

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

1 Peter 2:20-24

But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

And most important - John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
