MEMORISE: Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
BIBLE READING: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
MESSAGE:
Sadness sometimes feels like carrying a backpack full of heavy rocks; it can be tiring, painful, and overwhelming. The good news, however, is that Jesus is ever-present to lift the weight of sadness from His children. As a child of God, you don’t have to go through life alone or pretend to be okay when you’re not. Instead, lean on Jesus, and He will give you rest, as today’s memory verse tells us.

Many teenagers struggle to trust adults, whether it be their parents or teachers, and would rather confide in their peers when they are sad. Unfortunately, some of them receive wrong counsel and cultivate harmful habits like substance abuse, gambling, et cetera.
My dear child, if the above scenario describes your current situation, I want you to know that Jesus loves you deeply and wants to fill your heart with joy. Please pause right now, and lay your burdens at His feet. Tell Him you’re sorry for taking the wrong path.
Furthermore, seek help from a godly counsellor, your Sunday school teacher, or your pastor. They can guide you on how to walk in victory and experience the abundant life that God has planned for you. I pray that the Almighty God will remove anything that may be causing sadness in your life, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT:
If you’re feeling sad, don’t let it persist; seek help today.
