Jesus makes us feel better when we're sad.....
Sometimes, we might feel really, really sad. It's like when the sky is covered with clouds, and we can't see the sun. But just like the sun is always there behind the clouds, there are ways to feel better, even when things seem gloomy.
How Jesus Helps Us When We're Sad
Jesus Loves Us All the Time: Imagine the biggest, warmest hug—that's how Jesus loves us. Even on days when we feel super sad, Jesus's love is like a cozy blanket wrapped around us.
Jesus Gives Us Hope: Have you ever found a surprise toy or a rainbow after the rain? Jesus helps us remember that good things are coming, even when we can't see them yet. It's like waiting for a birthday present—you know it's going to be good, even if you have to wait.
Talking to Jesus Makes Us Feel Better: When we're sad, talking to Jesus in prayer is like talking to our best friend. We can tell Him anything—our worries, our fears, and even the things that make us happy. He's always listening.
Friends and Family Help, Too: Just like Jesus uses His words to comfort us, our friends and family can give us hugs, listen to our stories, and make us smile. Jesus often works through them to help us feel loved and not alone.
It's Okay to Ask for Help: Sometimes, we need a little extra help to feel better, like visiting a counselor or a doctor, just like we would for a scrape or a cold. Jesus wants us to take care of ourselves, and asking for help is a brave and smart thing to do.
What We Can Do
Talk About It: Share your feelings with someone you trust. It could be a parent, teacher, or friend.
Pray: Just like chatting with a friend, talk to Jesus. He cares about everything that's on your mind.
Remember You're Loved: Even on tough days, remember that Jesus and the people around you love you very much.
Just like the sun always comes out after the rain, remember that Jesus is with you, loving you, and helping you through sad times. And it's always okay to reach out for a hug, a talk, or any help you need. You're never alone!
Thank You for joining us at CROSS & CROWN! Sleep Well!
As we end our day and retreat into the quiet moments before sleep, let's embrace the restful peace that Jesus promises to those who seek Him. He teaches us that true rest is not just a physical necessity but a spiritual blessing. Tonight, as you lay down, cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you deeply (1 Peter 5:7).
Allow His peace, which surpasses all understanding, to guard your hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7). May your night be serene and your sleep be rejuvenating, enveloped in the loving arms of our Savior. Rest well, knowing that you are held in His eternal grace. Goodnight and God bless.
