Hurts and Needs

Hurts and needs seem to be everywhere, seem to be around for a long time.

What do we do when there's hurts and needs?
Can a minister be tired of hurts and needs where the ministry is to find hurts an heals them and to find needs and meets them?
Hurts continue to be overwhelm and needs continue to pile up.

More hospitals; more jobs for doctors, psychiatric, nurses, counsellors....
I believe the church of Jesus Christ must prevail and rise to this calling... it is a hard saying though.
It requires burden, care, heart, passion...

God's Promises to the sick, hurts and needy.
