He raises the poor out of the dust. And lifts the needy out of the ash heap.
Psalm 113:7

Jesus understands very much the things we go through. The feelings of anxiety, frustration, loneliness, anger, and rejection; he has experienced them all. He certainly understands what it is to cry out to God, with tears flowing. He has been through the same array of emotions, and when we are hurting He hurts also. "Emanuel" God is with us. He feels our pain. That is why we can approach Him, assured that He understands. Sometimes we may feel that we are not spiritual enough, or we have done something wrong, when we wrestle with these emotions. Not true. While family and friends are great to share our feelings with, there are some feelings that can't be put into words. Jesus desires for us to share them with Him. When we step into His presence, there is no need for words. He understands our every thought and emotion. We are free to be ourselves, letting go and realizing there are no barriers. We can cry out with a loud voice, we can sob, we can sit quietly in His presence. One thing for certain, we will find comfort, grace and mercy. Whatever our need, He understands, He has the answer. He most certainly is the truest of friends. He won't betray our confidence, He won't shame us or judge us. It is in His presence that we find the answers, the instruction, the help we so desperately need in our trouble. We are never alone. He is with us always.
Prayer

I thank you Jesus, that you understand how I feel. Pour your peace into my mind and my heart. I know you will never fail me; thank you for always being there and understanding the things even I don't understand. Your bring peace to my soul. Praise your wonderful name! Amen.
