Yesterday was World Mental Health Day to raise awareness about mental health. In honor of that, I would like to share a thought with you. Did you ever think about the fact that Jesus understands anguish?
The night before Jesus was crucified he went to the garden to pray. In Matthew 26::38 he said to his disciples:
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
Luke 22:44 gives a little more insight to what Jesus was experiencing at the moment.
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Jesus knew he was about to be tortured and crucified, so he was filled with anguish.
When we come to Jesus in prayer, we are praying to someone who understands anguish, someone who understands emotional pain.
If we struggle with depression or anxiety, we can come to Jesus in prayer knowing he has experienced sorrow and anguish.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

Amen! Jesus Christ walked a final journey to the Cross. Through His own anguish and anxiety, He has empathy for our journey.
