Hebrews 4:14-16

It is extremely easy to become caught up in the weaknesses and trials of this world. We often feel alone and misunderstood. These verses are an amazing reminder that we are never alone.

Hebrews 4:14-16 ~ "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

Not only does Jesus walk beside us through trials and temptations, but he also knows what it feels like. We never have the excuse of giving into self pity because "nobody understands." Jesus provided the ultimate example of standing up to trials and standing up to Satan as he tempts us. We do not have to wonder if God will be there to help us with these battles - we can walk forward with confidence to the throne of grace and ask him to help us whenever we are in need.
