We all want to avoid pain. But when you’re hurting, where do you turn?

It’s easy to self-medicate - to numb, distract, or reach for something other than God.

Take a moment to examine your heart today: What do you turn to when you’re hurting?

God isn’t asking you to run from the pain. He’s inviting you to run to Him.

Sometimes, “Go on” is the most healing thing that you can say.
