This Is the Day the Lord Has Madeਨਮੂਨਾ

GOOD FRIDAY: WE CRY OUT

In life, we will experience hardships, including anything from close friends or family passing away, dealing with annoying people at work, or worrying about paying the bills. We can come to Jesus with our problems and express our pain, as did the writer of Psalm 22 in verse 2: "My God I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest."

We can also pray to Jesus and know He can relate to our pains as He was crucified on the cross (John 19:16-37). We can also put our trust in God, as did the writer of Psalm 22 in verse 28: "For dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations."

So, suppose you're going through anything from having a bad day at work to going through more serious hardships. In that case, you can still praise God because you know that He will make it turn out well and that in Him, you are going to be ok.
