Dealin' with Feelin'નમૂનો

Sometimes everyone feels SAD—grieved, depressed, disappointed, worried, or hurt. Feeling sad happens to everybody—even Jesus, even God. We feel sad when something really bad happens—like someone we love gets sick or dies, we lose something we care about, we don’t get something we wanted really badly, or we aren’t sure if things are going to turn out okay in the future.

God is always with us, but the Bible says that when we’re feeling sad, He gets even closer to us. His Spirit surrounds us like a big hug. God can comfort us when we feel sad. The Bible calls feeling sad a broken spirit or a wounded heart. Just like it makes us feel better when someone who loves us puts a bandage on a wound on our body, God’s love can put a bandage on the wounds on our heart.

It’s okay to cry when we’re hurting. It’s okay to ask others to help us when our hearts are hurting. God will give us the strength to get over feeling sad even if the situation that’s making us sad doesn’t change. Say this out loud, “When I feel SAD, God gives me comfort!”
