Backstory:
I have seen on social media lately posts saying, “Life is hard…” and then giving some examples of why life is hard. Yes, life is hard and I think we all know that. I would like to explore ways that we can cope when life is hard. I also read a scripture in Mark in the Bible that I think would apply. It says, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick;” Reading this scripture made me think that no one is really whole without Jesus as their physician and without His influence in their life. 

The Master Physician of My Soul

Life is hard and I think this is something we can all agree,
Some days it is hard to keep going because of all our emotional debris.
We all have days when we wonder if we can keep going and we just want to flee,
Those are the days when we need the help of our loving Brother Jesus the most so that we can feel free.

Think of a time when you have been really sick,
You go in to see a doctor because you feel like you were hit by a brick.
He gives you medication, you start taking it and you feel better quick,
You feel so much better, body and spirit and your new found health you want to stick.

Jesus can help us feel better as the Master Physician,
He knows how we are feeling always because of His unique position.
He had to experience everything we did and all the opposition,
Suffering for us like He did was never an imposition.

Since He suffered everything we suffer in this life,
Only He can help us heal from all of the world’s strife.
Even when we feel like our heart is being cut with a knife,
All we have to do is turn to Him and He will be there to help us through this life.

Not one of us human beings could ever by ourselves be whole,
We are all imperfect and we struggle every day in our unique role.
By ourselves we could never reach our ultimate goal,
But with Jesus we can be healed and feel whole in our soul.

The Takeaway: Life is hard for everyone, no one is immune to hardships. If we turn to Jesus as our Master Physician, He can help us heal and feel better body and spirit. Then with Him by our side, our lives won’t seem so hard.
