He too was distressed

Isaiah 63:7-9 "I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which He is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us - yes, the many good things he has done for the house of Israel, according to His compassion and many kindnesses. He said, 'surely they are my people, sons who will not be false to me;" and so He became their Savior. In all their distresses He too was distressed, and the angel of His presence saved them. In His love and mercy He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old."

Hebrews 4:14-16 "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

C.H. Spurgeon
"God had one Son without sin, but not a single child without the rod. It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all pints like as we are...The idea of strangeness in our trials must be banished at once and for ever, for He who is the head of all saints, knows by experience the grief which we think so peculiar... Courage, soldiers of the Cross, the King Himself triumphed after going over, and so shall you." [Morning and Evening, May 31]

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."

Thankful to be adopted by the Father of compassion and God of all comfort. No trial we face is one with which  He is unfamiliar. "Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, the clouds ye so much dread are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head." [William Cowper, "God Moves in a Mysterious Way"]

Begone Unbelief

Begone unbelief, my Savior is near,

And for my relief, will surely appear.

By faith let me wrestle with God in the storm

And help my, my Savior, the faith to adorn.

Though dark be my way, since He is my guide,

'Tis mine to obey and His to provide;

Though cisterns be broken and creatures all fail,

The word He has spoken will surely prevail.

Determined to save, He watched o'er my path,

When Satan's blind slave, I sported with death;

And can He have taught me to trust in His name,

And thus far have brought me, to put me to shame?

Why should I complain of want or distress,

Temptation or pain, He told me no less:

The heirs of salvation, I know from His word,

Through much tribulation must follow their Lord.

Since all that I meet will work for my good,

The bitter is sweet, the medicine food.

Though painful at present, will cease before long,

And then, O how glorious, the conqueror's song!

-John Newton
