Backstory:
This idea came from an every day moment with my dog, Coco. A couple days ago, Coco and I were on a morning walk. She wanted to stop to sniff something like dogs do sometimes. She was standing on some rocks and suddenly she held one of her paws up and couldn’t put weight on it. I crouched down and examined that paw. There was a tiny piece of a sticker in there. So I took it out and she was back to normal that fast, and we continued our walk like nothing had hurt her. Later, I decided to apply this experience to my life. We all have trials that feel like painful stickers to us. Not many people can see how painful our trials can be. When we feel alone and hurt, we should look to our Savior to pull the sticker out so we can feel better. 

He Knows Where It Hurts

We all have trials in our lives on this earth,
It has been that way since our birth.
No one really knows what we suffer deep down,
And they don’t know how often we wear a frown.

Our trials can feel painful and can hurt us to the very core,
And the weight on our shoulders could make us fall to the floor.
Just when we have fallen and we can’t get up,
We need someone to fill our almost empty faith cup.

But don’t lose hope in that painful moment of weakness,
You just need to reach out to your Savior in the stillness.
Just know that He will be there for you in an instant
Because His love and concern for you is always consistent.

Only Jesus knows the trials you face every day,
And He will be there when your skies feel gray.
Just look up to Him and He will be by your side,
Because He has felt your pain, and every time you have cried.

Even if you feel like no one understands what you are going through,
And the weight of your trials makes you feel blue.
Just remember that you are never alone for a minute,
Jesus will be there, even if you have reached your limit.

The Takeaway: The trials we face in this life can be painful and the weight on our shoulders might at times seem very heavy to bear alone. But we are never alone. Our Savior, Jesus Christ will be there to help us through our most painful experiences. He has felt all of those feelings and emotions. If we look to Him, He will help us heal from our hardest moments in this life.
