Who do you permit to speak into your life? What is your reality of God?  God understands the situation we are in.  He did not cause it.  He is our Redeemer, Healer, Life Sustainer, Deliverer, and our High Priest!  The Cross speaks to the issues of spirit, soul, and body.  The crown of thorns were representative of the mental anguish we bare, tormenting thoughts, and troubling imaginations.  Faith draws the attention of God.  Politicians seek the voice of the people for their power.  Christians should seek the voice of God (found in His Word) for their power and authority!
