JESUS CARES!

Are you sad, alone, overwhelmed, worried, discouraged, anxious, or afraid? Does it feel like the cycle of pain and troubles never go away? These challenges are not unique to you. Our world is full of so many troubles and problems that worry us. How do we overcome when we are bombarded on all sides?

Is there a refuge we can run to in crisis and be at peace? Is there someone who gives us confidence during a storm to press on? Yes, there is, and his name is Jesus. He is God and Savior, defender, and protector. You can rely on Him completely to rescue, save, deliver, heal and restore. He will fight your battles. He quiets your fears and calms your anguish.

We enjoy the peace and fulfilment that Jesus gives when we place our trust in Him. God loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you, however, our short comings hinder us from knowing God or experiencing His love. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for our sin. Through Him we can know God personally, experience God's love and begin a new life. Jesus extends this invitation to everyone. 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun”. Embrace the gift of Jesus by receiving Him into your life and enjoy the peace He gives. You can call on Him when you’re in trouble, sad, alone, anxious, discourage or overwhelmed and He will give you peace.

To place your trust in God; accept Jesus Christ alone as your Savior. Pray this simple prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank you for making it possible for me to find peace with God. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. I receive your peace and unending love. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.
