Many are those who while amid trouble, while in anguish and pain, say, \u201cGod does not see me. Jesus doesn’t care about me. My soul is troubled.\u201d Due to many factors in society and also within their bodies and minds, many women have suffered within themselves. According to studies, women are twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression, and the latter is the top cause of disease burden for women.<\/p>\n

A Troubled Soul<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u2018Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? \u201cFather, save Me from this hour\u2019? But for this purpose I came to this hour. (John 12:27)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bishop Bira Joshua<\/a><\/span> addressed this battle many women face daily during the Showdown of Faith TV Program on Wednesday, January 22nd. Although many feel as if the Lord Jesus does not care, on the contrary, He better than anyone else knows what it is to have a troubled soul and came to rescue and bring peace to those who are afflicted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou feel so alone in trouble. It seems like everybody has abandoned you. You feel like you are the last person on earth. You feel like you are the least. You feel like nothing but the Lord Jesus understands you. He knows your pain. He knows exactly what is going on with you because He felt this way Himself. If you talk about the betrayal, He was betrayed. If you talk about trust, people did not trust Him, even his own family. Jesus knows your pain because He felt it as a human being,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 emphasized the bishop.<\/p>\n

The Anointing of Joy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In a recent Journey of Faith to Israel, Bishops representing The Universal Church worldwide prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, where the Lord Jesus prayed when His soul was afflicted before going to the cross.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord Jesus came for those whose souls are in trouble. It seems like you are squeezed inside of you. It seems like your soul is pressed down inside of you\u2026 We went to Israel to many holy places\u2014one was the Mount of Olives, where to this day they press the olives to extract the oil. And we prayed for this anointing oil over there\u2014the Holy Oil we will use to anoint you this Sunday. You will receive the Anointing of Joy!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 said Bishop Joshua.<\/p>\n

Crying Out in Shiloh\u2014In the Faith of Hannah<\/strong><\/h4>\n

While in Israel, the bishops and their wives also visited Shiloh and cried out to God for the troubled women. It was in Shiloh that the Biblical Hannah made a vow to God because she was in anguish of soul, suffering humiliation and grief (1 Samuel 1-2).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Hannah left, her face was no longer sad, and God gave her the best, not just a child, but her son was the Prophet Samuel,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 said Bishop Joshua.<\/p>\n

\"CryDuring the Wednesday Service in Brooklyn, NY, once more Bishop Bira Joshua prayed for the Holy Anointing Oil along with pastors from across the USA, together with the congregation, praying for all those who will come to The Universal Church this Sunday, January 26th.<\/p>\n
