Heavy Heart? No Worries!

Have you ever had a heavy heart? Have you had, somewhere in the depth of your body a drag, a heaviness, a worry that you just cannot figure. Many people call it depression. Others describe it as a hopeless feeling and others cannot give it a name at all but find themselves not wanting to participate in life.

The Bible tells us that Jesus came to give us life and abundant life at that. His desire is fully and completely for our well being and happiness. The problem with our lives is that we are sinners and we often do things that weigh on our minds. We often cannot forgive ourselves and sometimes that brings on heaviness.

There is someone I know that when heaviness come over her, she does one thing for sure, she calls the name of Jesus out loud. Yes, she told me she cries, “Jesus” and said that sometimes, she calls His name over and over again. “There is power in that name”, she reminded me in our conversation.

Jesus is our hope. He is our Father, Creator and Lord. He can make all things new and with Him, His mercy is new every morning.

Do not be depressed. Do not let heaviness overtake you. No, instead, call on the name of Jesus, the name above every name and claim his mercies, new every morning.
