Mercy for the Soul in Despair

Sometimes life gets the best of us, problems become more than we can handle, and difficulties overwhelm us. There is a crucial moment when a decision is made, whether we will sink or swim, will we dive deep into God's abundant mercies or drown in a sea of despair. 

Pain makes us wonder whether God is good or not. Pain drives us to Jesus or despair. In Matthew 17:14-23, we hear of a soul in despair who comes to Jesus. We see a man seeking mercy, a son held captive, a group of people unable to help, and a King so great He can change the soul and bind up every brokenness. Christ alone can truly change and comfort the soul. 

Job 6:26
2 Cor. 1:3-5
Jesus loves you!
