"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 NKJV
Today, you may be battle-scarred, wounded, beaten up, slapped down and hurting. Looking around, there doesn't seem to be anyone who are aware of this either. You are carrying it alone. This is one characteristic of depression; you feel alone and want to be alone but, deep-down, you don't want to be alone. You are so confused that you don'r know what you want. One moment you can't stop crying, the tears just flow and you can't seem to stop them. Just one expression of love towards you and you can easily start crying again. Nothing seems to matter but then again, it does but you just don't have the mental energy to address this. If someone asks you what upset you, you can't answer this because there appears to be many, many things that could be the cause.
When a person is having a breakdown, these are some of the symptoms. The person may have managed to handle all of the mighty bullets that were shot at them without it having a nervous reaction. Then came along one more thing that tipped them over the edge. It may only have been such a small, insignificant thing but when it hit, it awakened all of those buried hurts that they thought they had overcome.
The human being seems very good in hiding hurts from others and they carry them around on their own without venting their feelings about such a thing. The result being, a person can only take so much before something has to snap. And it can snap hard.
Are you one of these wounded people? Have you been hiding hurts from the people who matter in your life? If it hasn't already, one of these days, and it may be soon, your world is going to crumble if you don't do something about it and quickly. Take a look at what God's word has to say about such times:"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Straightaway, we have someone who is willing to comfort us in our misery - Jesus. He knows what pain is and has seen many dreadful things happening to His people. He doesn't question what has happened, even if it were our own fault. He has too much invested in us. Therefore, go to Him now, 'casting all your cares on Him for cares for you' 1 Peter 5:7.
You can only take so much before you begin to crack. Jesus knows this. You are not weak, you've just been in battle for a while and you need a top up. Remember, Jesus was far from weak but He had to go through all that He He did for our sake. He knows how you feel. Just relax and let Him build you back up.
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
