Psalm (78)

Every soul is as fully known to Jesus as if he were the only one for whom the Savior died. The distress of every one touches His heart. The cry for aid reaches His ear. He came to draw all men unto Himself. He bids them, "Follow Me," and His Spirit moves upon their hearts to draw them to come to Him. Many refuse to be drawn. Jesus knows who they are. He also knows who gladly hear His call, and are ready to come under His pastoral care. He says, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." He cares for each one as if there were not another on the face of the earth.

We have a gracious God who even though, see us complaining sometimes He "is in the sanctuary" pleading for us! If we want to get out of our depression we should use the gift of thankfulness which is one of the most powerful gifts God offers for healing and deliverance!

"Nine tenths of the trials and perplexities that so many worry over are either imaginary, or brought upon themselves by their own wrong course. They should cease to talk of these trials, and 'cease' to magnify them. The Christian may commit every worriment, every disturbing thing to God. Nothing is too small for our compassionate Savior to notice; nothing is too great for Him to carry."

"If there is any one who should be continually grateful, it is the follower of Christ. If there is any one who enjoys real happiness, even in this life, it is the faithful Christian. If we appreciate or have any sense of how dearly our salvation was purchased, anything which we may call sacrifice will sink away into insignificance."
"We need not keep our own record of trials and difficulties, grief's, and sorrows. All these things are written in the books, and heaven will take care of them." In Heavenly Places.
