MILE 5
"DISTRESS"
extreme anxiety, sorrow or pain (definition of distress)
EXTREME
stress brings distress
and all these are synonymous:

anguish, suffering, pain, agony, torment, heartache, heartbreak

our LORD Jesus Christ felt all of this
there was no
ESCAPE
not even for the
Son of God
who became the
 Son of man
for our sake
HE SUFFERED, DIED and WAS BURIED
but ohhh, on that Third Day ... (we have to wait for SONday, for Sunday's Coming)
this is what iBELIEVE

John 19:28 John 4:1-26 Philippians 4:10-13

the 
ENEMY
wants us to thirst for ...
more of ...
(you name it)
"...when you face moments of distress the enemy will present an ENDLESS array of options for you to quench your thirst" ...
"God's not waiting for you to find another way to fill 
a void in your life.
He's waiting for you to receive the fulfillment 
He's already made available to you.
Embrace the unending satisfaction of His love." Steven Furtick

that's the "E"zy answer

"Jesus, I praise You for Your unending love. Even in Your greatest moment of distress, You fulfilled a purpose greater than anything I can ever imagine. Lord, I surrender every area of distress in my life to You. I receive the fulfillment that only Your love can bring. Everywhere I go today, give me the peace of knowing that I am complete in You. In Jesus' name, Amen. "

It may be said to "thirst no more" but I thirst for more and more of Jesus!
