INTRODUCTION
Everyone gets hurt. Everyone goes through scary seasons. Sometimes we make it out unscathed and other times we are left with injuries and scars. When you add emotional, mental and spiritual injuries into the mix, we are almost always somewhere on the healing spectrum. This is why one of greatest names for God is the Great Physician!

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ ROMANS 8:31-39
Now matter what you’re going through, God promises that He will be there with you to walk you through it. You don’t have to be a victim… quite the opposite! Because we have Jesus on our side, we can go through anything this life throws at us!
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ GALATIANS 6:1-10
Not only does God say that He will be with us through the thick and thin of life, but He commands others who love Him to come along side us. That means the same mandate lies on us as well. We are not to only look at ourselves… we are not to only look to God… but we must look at those hurting around us and carry one another’s burdens as God empowers us to do so.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would determine your identity during difficult times of life and that He would continually put people in your life to walk with you through these times.
