The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states unequivocally that 80% of our medical expenditures are now stress-related.

 

1. THE REAL GOD UNDERSTANDS YOU.

 

Psalm 139:1-7

Insight - The human personality is said to consist of roughly four-fifths emotions and one-fifth intellect. This means that 80% of our decisions are made based on emotions, and only 20% are made based on intellect.

John 1:14

Matthew 1:23

Hebrews 4:15

Philippians 3:10

 

2. THE REAL GOD COMFORTS YOU.

 

2 Corinthians 1:3–5

Matthew 5:4

 

Mourning + Comforting = Being Blessed!

 

Romans 12:15

 

Positive emotions expressed + rejoicing = feeling blessed.

Painful emotions expressed + mourning = feeling blessed.

 

3. THE REAL GOD WEEPS FOR YOU.

 

Hebrews 13:8

 

 

Do The Book:

COMMIT TO MEMORY Matthew 5:4 – “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Prayerfully seek to learn to ‘receive’ comfort from others & to ‘respond’ with comfort with ones who are hurting.

LIVE ON MISSION by ‘Doing’ Romans 12:15 with a friend or family. “Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.” Look for ‘celebrations’ to rejoice & for ‘challenges’ to mourn and express care.

REMEMBER JESUS as “the man of sorrows, acquainted with our grief” as you reflect on the tears in His eyes of John 11:35. What hurts are you experiencing that causes Jesus to weep?
