Just... Let HIM Hold You

“Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4

I know there are a number of people in my life who are mourning for different things, the loss of loved ones, failed relationships, wayward children, financial struggles and so much more. We live in a world of uncertainty, pain, doubt and hopelessness so we cannot avoid the hurt in our world and our lives. 

Yet, Jesus speaking to the crowds that had followed Him promised that they would be comforted in the midst of the uncertainty, pain, hopelessness and fear. It is a promise that we can hold onto no matter what we are facing. He is waiting with His arms open - whatever the reason for the pain, for the doubt, for the fear, for the mourning He is ready to hold you and bring you the comfort you need. 

What are you facing this week? No matter the cause of the pain, no matter the reason for your mourning. Fall into His loving embrace - HE is waiting. 

Just… let HIM hold you. 

A Prayer
Father, thank you for the promise of comfort in our times our distress. Thank you that your Son understands everything we feel because He has experienced this world. Thank you for holding us in your arms. Help us to share your comfort with those around us who are hurting. In the name of Jesus, who stands with his arms open waiting to hold us we pray - Amen.
