What happens inside when your world feels upside down and nothing seems to make sense anymore? Wave after wave of stories from around the globe relaying horrible acts of violence, families devasted by war, freak accidents or environmental disasters. "All our enemies have opened their mouthswide against us.We have suffered terror and pitfalls,ruin and destruction."Streams of tears flow from my eyesbecause my people are destroyedLamentations 3: 46-48 I long for the days when I didn't know so much. The naivety of my youth without the magnetic pull onto the social media highway. When we hung out at the park and came home when the streetlamps turned on. I never thought I would fondly remember the days of the dewy decimal system and hours lost gathering information. Now there is this onslaught of information, competing agendas, friends who we hardly recognize anymore shouting insults and angry retorts at one another. The world can feel upside down, leaving us feeling defeated and hopeless. Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning;great is your faithfulness.I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion;therefore I will wait for him."Lamentations 3: 22-24 The "just ask Google" age is a double-edged sword. We get information quickly without knowing with certainty that it is accurate. Now, we can find and disseminate information across multiple sources with little accountability to prove validity. Gone are the days of trusted experts...we have become the experts. Our message at church this week focused on humility. Can we acknowledge there are things we do not know or understand? Can we lay down our need to be right? Are we able to live on the edge of not having all the answers? The lyrics in Katy Nichole's song, In Jesus Name (God of Possible), offer words for times when our present circumstances feel like too much to bear. Sometimes, we need help to hope in the not yet. When answers don't come soon enough, or when my solutions don't align with my neighbours. In these moments, all we know to do is pray. I pray for your healing, that circumstances would changeI pray that the fear inside would flee in Jesus nameI pray that a breakthrough would happen todayI pray miracles over your life, in Jesus name We are most at risk when our circumstances feel so overwhelming that all we want to do is hide, or when we are so overwhelmed, we get louder and meaner. As a therapist, I manage well with emotional reactivity in the safety of my office space, but facing an angry stranger at the grocery store, or reading the vitriol of an acquaintance's remarks online, can leave me completely gobsmacked. I speak the name of all authorityDeclaring blessings, ev'ry promise He is faithful to keepI speak the name no grave could ever holdHe is greater, He is stronger, He's the God of possible Come believe it, come receive itOh the power of His Spirit is now forever yoursCome believe it, come receive itIn the mighty name of Jesus, all things are possible If you are walking with someone through their darkest days, or you are finding yourself weary and worn out from fighting your own battles- speak the name of Jesus. Sometimes, this is all we can do. Christ Jesus who died- more than that, who was raised to life- is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?Romans 8:34b, 35 Resist the tendency to limit the power and effectiveness of His name. No amount of digging for answers, no amount of time spent in dialogue, no amount of tears melts the hurt in the human heart like the ministry of Christ's love. As it is written: "For your sake, we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." NO, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Romans: 36-39 So we turn our eyes to heaven and cry out "in Jesus name." Receive His love, His healing touch for your weary, worn-out heart. Tracey Dahl, M.A. is a writer and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in Langley, BC (Canada).

The song Come Unto Jesus beautifully encapsulates the heartfelt invitation from Christ Himself. This invitation is not just to the religious or the righteous but to the weary, the broken, and the burdened. It's a call to find solace in the arms of the Savior. 1. The Sanctuary for the Weary: The world can be overwhelming. Our lives are often filled with challenges, heartbreaks, and moments of despair. But in the midst of this turbulence, there's an unchanging refuge in Jesus. The song reminds us that no matter how heavy our hearts or the burdens we carry, Jesus is mighty to heal. He stands ready to mend our wounds and renew our spirits. 2. The Comfort for the Straying: Many times, we may feel lost, wandering without direction or purpose. In these moments of uncertainty, Jesus offers Himself as the light, guiding us back to the path of righteousness and peace. His voice, gentle and reassuring, reminds us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 3. The Feast for the Hungry: Beyond our physical needs, there's a deeper hunger within our souls—a longing for purpose, love, and acceptance. Jesus invites us to partake of the Bread of Life, to drink from the cup of His everlasting promise. This feast isn't just about sustenance; it's about experiencing the unending grace and love of the Father. 4. The Call to Surrender: Jesus doesn't just offer rest; He offers a new way of life. It's a call to forsake our old ways, our worldly pursuits, and to take up our cross. In surrendering, we find life in its fullest measure—a life of purpose, joy, and eternal hope. 5. The Promise of Rest: The chorus of the song resounds with a simple yet profound truth: In Jesus, we find rest. Not just physical rest but a deep, soul-satisfying rest that the world cannot give. It's a rest that comes from knowing we are loved, accepted, and secured in Him. As we reflect on this song, let's remember that the invitation to come unto Jesus is not a one-time event. It's a daily call—a reminder that every day, in every circumstance, Jesus stands ready to offer His love, His grace, and His peace. Perhaps today you feel overwhelmed by life's burdens. Maybe you're wrestling with doubts, fears, or feelings of unworthiness. Whatever you're facing, hear the Savior's call afresh: "Come unto me." Lay down your burdens at His feet. Find rest in His love. Experience the joy, peace, and renewal only He can give. Today, may we respond to this loving invitation. Let's come unto Jesus, laying down our burdens, our worries, and our anxieties, and find true rest in His boundless love and grace.Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
