I am guessing that if you have found this page, you are facing some big struggles in your life. 
I want to encourage you that God is bigger than your biggest problem.  
But more than that -- God CARES!  
He cares about your hurts.  He cares about your life. He cares about YOU! 

How do I know that?  Because I have faced many huge hurts in my own life and God has brought me through them.  More than that, I know because Jesus, God's Son, died for me and for you. When Jesus started His ministry, He read a Scripture from the Old Testament and announced that He was the fulfillment of that Scripture.  Read below why Jesus came.


The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim freedom for the captives
    and release from darkness for the prisoners, 
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor...
to comfort all who mourn,
    and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
    instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
    instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
    instead of a spirit of despair.
(Isaiah 61:1-3) 

Jesus came to bind up the brokenhearted.  
                 Are you broken today?  
                                 Let Jesus bind your wounds.

Jesus came to proclaim freedom for the captives.  
                 Are you captive to alcohol, drugs, food, pornography? 
                                 Let Jesus set you free.

Jesus came to release the prisoners from darkness.  
                 Do you face the darkness of depression? 
                                 Let Jesus bathe you in His wonderful light!

Let Jesus fill you will joy, and peace and praise 
so that there is no longer room left for the pain, mourning, despair and depression!
