I have experience sorrow overload many times over the last few years. There are so many sick and hurting people. You can’t help but hurt with them and pray for them. At times it causes overwhelming sadness. Thank you for pointing us to Christ.

Dispite all the sorrow and sin in the world, God knows the end from the beginning…

The ONLY comfort we have is belonging to the Christ Who is all-sufficient and omni-present for us and all His brothers and sisters!

Question: in your opinion, do we have an imbalance of entering readily into others’ sorrow, but not so readily into others’ joy? And if so, why do you think this is?

Having sorrowed all weekend over that poor family that have been left motherless when she died in childbirth, we’ve just heard that the son of dear friends of ours was found dead this morning. He was prayed for since he was born, but spent almost 20 years on drugs. Now his mother and father’s greatest dread has happened. I can hardly even pray….
