Jesus Suffered Too - Hebrews 2

S - Hebrews 2:18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
O - Jesus himself went through sufferings and testing and had many things that were unfair happen to him. Because of this, He is able to help us through these same types of sufferings and testings that we go through.
A - Sometimes things happen in life that are not fair, not pleasant, and I wonder why God is allowing this to happen. Eventhough I may never know the answer to these questions, I can stand firm in believing that God is there to help me through it. He experienced many of the same issues and He was able to go through these perfectly. He can give me strength to go through these as well and also His wisdom to see these times as He sees them and with a path through them. In the end, these times of sufferings and testings were necessary for Him to sacrifice himself as his death would not have been the same if He lived a perfect life without any temptations or suifferings.
P - God, You are the protector and provider of all life. I pray that you be with me today and to soften my heart. I have been angry at how our adoption journey has taken place and I look to you for help and guidence. I want to do what is right and to give myself for those that are in neeed but I need your eyes to see why things are unfolding as they have to this point. I pray that you give peace and grace to Christa and me as we continue to search for a way to help other children. Be with us today and bless our actions and our children.
