The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18

Many times in life we go through difficulties that cause us to feel distressed, saddened, lost and alone.  It's as if our life is hopeless and we walk about in despair.  We've been deeply hurt, lost a friend or loved one, gone through a divorce, have financial worries, and the list goes on.  Often we look for comfort in such things as food, alcohol, TV, sex, Video Games, etc., to try to ease the pain and escape these feelings, but there is a better way.  We have the promise of hope with the greatest Comforter,
Jesus Christ.
Jesus, speaking to the assembly in the synagog, said,

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
Then He said,
"Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Jesus made claim to the fact that He was and is the Anointed One of  God; the One sent to show God's love.  He brings hope and peace to our life and set's us free from bondage.  By putting our trust in Him, we receive the promise of a peace which surpasses all understanding; the peace of God who comforts those who call upon Him in truth. 
While teaching the disciples just before His death, Jesus said, "

Peace I leave you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
and

"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

It is only by trusting in Jesus that we receive God's promises and the peace to overcome our fears and distresses.  Jesus is called the Great Shepherd and He is the One who takes care of the flock, God's children.
