■    My Confirmation verse is John 11:35, "Jesus wept." When I read that verse, I realize that Jesus, who is fully God, is also fully man, IS like ME.He hurts like me; He feels the pains of others like me.In fact, when Jesus wept, he was weeping because of the pain that Lazarus' death brought to Mary and Martha and others. But most of all, this verse promises that Jesus, who is with me always, knows my pain, sees my struggles, and promises to hear me when I can go to Him in prayer and praise.  The writer of Hebrews invites all who believe: Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)
