Are You Suffering?
19% of the US population suffers from depression and anxiety.
That is 63.2M in the US! 15% (49.9M in the US) have a serious mental illness, 5% (16.6M in the US )have serious thoughts of suicide. And in 2020 we lost 44,834 people! A recent report indicates that these numbers are up 30% in 2021.
In Hebrews 5:7–10, we are told, "In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek."
Jesus understands your suffering. He is a friend that is familiar with suffering, pain, and grief. "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15) When you find yourself suffering, turn to the one who knows best.
