00:01 Welcome back.
00:02 I don't know what pain,
00:04 what sorrow you have experienced in your life.
00:06 It might be totally different
00:08 than we Greg and I dealt with those years ago
00:11 with our infertility.
00:12 It might be death or divorce sort of pain
00:16 or betrayal or whatever it is.
00:20 The Lord Jesus says, "I want to bring you healing.
00:23 I want to pour my healing grace
00:26 into your heart and into your life.
00:28 I want to make you whole again,
00:30 to bring you peace and even joy."
00:33 This week, our application for this week,
00:36 first of all is to go God and ask him to search you.
00:40 Psalm 139, it's one of my favorite scriptures
00:43 and I claim it over my life, almost every day.
00:47 Psalm 139:24 and 24, it says,
00:50 "Search me, O God, and know my heart:
00:54 try me, and know my thoughts:
00:56 And see if there is any wickedness inside,
00:59 and lead me in the way everlasting."
01:03 Ask God is there is any sorrow in my life,
01:06 is there sorrow from choice.
01:08 Am I not responding to the sorrow
01:11 in my life in your way?
01:13 Am I allowing Satan to take that sorrow
01:18 and to push me from Jesus?
01:21 If that's the case, do you want to be changed?
01:24 Do you want to be made different?
01:27 Do you want to have a close walk with Jesus yet again?
01:31 If so, He can do that.
01:33 He wants it even more than we could ever desire it.
01:39 Next week, the next two programs actually,
01:41 we're gonna specifically talk about
01:44 the keys and the steps
01:45 that God led me on in my own journey to experiencing peace
01:51 and even joy again after that loss.
01:53 And I know that the steps are biblical,
01:56 they're going to work for you too.
01:58 And whatever your situation is and whatever your case is.
02:02 So in addition to this week going before God
02:05 and asking Him to search you
02:06 and show you what sorrow is in your life
02:09 and where maybe you're letting that sorrow push you from God.
02:12 In addition to that, encourage somebody else this week.
02:17 We don't feel like doing that
02:18 when we're in a depressed and sad state,
02:20 but that can be key to recovery.
02:23 Maybe you have a sick friend and you can pick wild flowers
02:27 and bring them to your friend.
02:29 Maybe you could offer a baby sit for a busy mom.
02:32 Maybe you can visit a shounen and just sit and listen
02:36 as they tell you stories about their past.
02:39 Whatever it is, pick three specific things this week
02:43 that you can do to encourage someone out.
02:47 Our closing scripture is Romans 15:13.
02:51 "Now may the God of hope
02:53 fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
02:56 that you may abound in hope
02:58 by the power of the Holy Spirit."
