Then Jesus said, “I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.John 6:35 NCV
Over the years I've learned that the Lord is the only one that can really renew me from the inside out. Everything else that I've tried to use to fill voids only work for so long and before I knew it I realized that I haven't filled the void at all but I've only covered it temporarily.
For a heart that is broken and a spirit that is shaken there is nothing like the loving touch of Christ. Jesus promised that those who seek Him will have life and that He would fill every area in our lives where we are experiencing lack. This is good news, it means that we don't have to carry pain, we don't have to be weighed down by the burdens of life because the Lord is willing to take on everything that is weighing us down.
I can tell you from personal experience that when you use your own methods to cope with life's up's and down's it will always lead you back to where you started in the first place. A broken heart and loneliness will try to convince you that a relationship, people and things will make things better; But I'm here to tell you that those things are only temporary quick fixes. When we really let go and trust God with our pain He will masterfully mend every piece of your fractured heart.

Don't waste another day or another moment trying to sort things out on your own, surrender it all to the Lord today. Declare that every thing that has kept you pressed down has to be submitted to the power of Christ. With the Lord on our side there is nothing that we cannot overcome and with Him we win. Don't give up, continue to worship your way through it and know that the Lord will guide you to the other side of your pain right into victory.
Love,
