When we are tempted or suffer, and pray to The Lord for help with our burdens, we know that He understands what we are going through. He will be merciful to us because He loves us and He has been through similar situations.
"For verily He took no on Him the nature of angels; but he took on Him the seed of Abraham ... it beloved Him to be made like unto His brethren ... For in that He himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted." Hebrews 2:16-18
Jesus, The Son of God, took on human form, put on flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:1 & 14
Jesus endured rejection by family and friends. He was talked about and lied upon. He had loved ones close to Him to die. He was tempted and He suffered physically. He went through what we go through, so He can empathize and not just sympathize. He truly understands. He can feel our pains.
Jesus is the only one who is truly qualified to have mercy on us and to forgive us of our sinful thoughts, words, and actions. So, no matter what it is that you are dealing with, pray, take it to Him, He will understand and answer your prayer.
As the old hymn says, "Take you burdens to The Lord and leave it there ... If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out. Take your burdens to The Lord and leave it there."
