Relief in Christ Jesus
Although you are unable to conquer your disease by yourself, you are weary of fighting with it, and you are exhausted by it, there is enough strength in Jesus Christ to bring you relief. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It sustained the prodigal son when he was ready to faint, knowing that there was enough bread stored in his father’s house. Although he was still at a distance, the knowledge that it was there relieved him, and braced him. In your greatest distress and anguish, consider that fullness of grace. Consider those riches, those treasures of strength, might, and help, that are stored in Christ for our support. “They that wait on the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles.” Let these considerations enter and remain in your mind. ~ John Owen
