Psalm 69:2 I sink in the miry depths, where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.
We will all face hardships in our lives and the hardships will be very different for each of us. Some will come from natural occurrences such as hurricanes or earthquakes, whilst others come from self-inflicted actions!
Jesus took on the sins of the world by going to the cross – what mess could be deeper or worse?
We may look at our own messes and think they come pretty close to Jesus’ moments on the cross, but they don’t.
Jesus is willing to take on our burdens, take on our problems and take on our hardships – if and when we ask.
