After having Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) a month ago and enduring the pain and adjustment to the batteries in my chest and wires in my neck, I was reminded of the encouraging promises in Isaiah 43:1-2.

Isaiah 43:1-2 “But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

It is always an encouragement to be reminded that I am God’s child. I also must remember He will be with me through each trial I face.

Did you know DBS can also apply in your life? Not Deep Brain Stimulation but Depending Boldly on the Savior. 

Depending Boldly on the Savior is what we all need to do in our everyday lives. We all depend on someone in our lives to help us get through hardships. We can talk to husbands, wives, parents, pastors, and our friends on Facebook. But there comes a time when we’re all alone and no one can know what we’re going through. But there is One who knows what we’re facing. I’m so thankful I can tell everything to Jesus and He understands. 

Last week I had the hymn, “I Must Tell Jesus” in my head. Surprisingly we sang it at church Sunday night. I love the first verse which says;

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;

I cannot bear these burdens alone;

In my distress He kindly will help me;

He ever loves and cares for His own.

Who are you depending on?

Jesus is ready to listen to all of your burdens. While He may not fix them right away, know that He loves and cares for you. 

I Must Tell Jesus 
1 I must tell Jesus all of my trials;

I cannot bear these burdens alone;

In my distress He kindly will help me;

He ever loves and cares for His own.

Refrain:

I must tell Jesus!

I must tell Jesus!

I cannot bear my burdens alone;

I must tell Jesus!

I must tell Jesus!

Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

2 I must tell Jesus all of my troubles;

He is a kind, compassionate friend;

If I but ask Him, He will deliver,

Make of my troubles quickly an end. [Refrain]

3 Tempted and tried, I need a great Savior,

One who can help my burdens to bear;

I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;

He all my cares and sorrows will share. [Refrain]

4 O how the world to evil allures me!

O how my heart is tempted to sin!

I must tell Jesus, and He will help me

Over the world the vict’ry to win. [Refrain]
