Mister Rogers said, "There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth." As we live life, we will wrestle with difficult situations. We will struggle and face challenges. However, we do not need to face these on our own. We have an advocate!
Jesus Christ came to live as an example for each of us. He has experienced life on earth. He knows that we will have challenges and struggles. He also came to be a sacrifice for our sin. As He left earth, He told us about our Advocate, the Holy Spirit. Even though we will wrestle with problems, we have an Advocate that will help us to grow and overcome this world. We don't have to struggle and wrestle on our own, we can turn to God, to Jesus Christ, and to our Advocate, the Holy Spirit. With them we can grow!
When wrestling with struggles and challenges, turn to your Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to teach and help you grow!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending an Advocate. Help me to not wrestle and struggle on my own, but to turn to You and the Advocate You provide. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
