In this message, Bro. Alan Simmons begins by sharing two passages of scripture, Romans 8:26-28 and 2 Timothy 1:7-9, 12 and discusses how the Lord does not want us to suffer, but wants to give us what we need most - His healing love. He wants us to come to Him with all our physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds much the way a child comes to their parent or grandparent whenever they need comfort and care. The Lord also intended for us, in our pain and anguish, to reach out to others - not only for help, but to help those we can. The Lord also gave us the local body of believers - the church - to help us on our journey towards healing from the pains of life.
