“The Troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses!” Psalm 25:17 (NKJV)

Few things have such a negative effect on our spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being as life problems and worries. They can play on our mind to such an extent that our mental abilities may be impaired. When Jesus called those who are weary and overburdened to Him, He did not guarantee exemption from problems, nor did He promise that all problems would disappear instantaneously. Instead He offers to share our burdens and teach us how to cope with them so that we can find peace of mind. You cannot predict what setbacks you will face, or how serious they will be. So in order to maintain a balance in your life it is essential to develop a healthy personal relationship with the living Christ. Drawing near to Jesus through prayer and reading God’s word is important. Then when problems arise, you will find that He will be with you to help you overcome them and the peace of God will rule in your heart.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
