Luke 7:11-15 KJV
[11] And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. [12] Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. [13] And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. [14] And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. [15] And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

Jesus recognized the suffering of this woman & couldn't pass her by. He knew she was already a widow & she was about to bury her only son. He was already in the casket. She thought it was over.
Jesus touched the casket & spoke to the young man & told him to get up. He sat up & began to speak.
What a powerful miracle to witness & to be that young man or to be that mother & to have her son back... I can't imagine what they were feeling, but I know there had to be many overwhelming emotions.
Bad things may have happened to you. You may even be going through something right now, but the Lord knows when enough is enough. He knows what you can handle & He knows what you're capable of.
Your trials make you stronger & what you're going through now may feel like it's going to destroy you, BUT be of good cheer, Jesus has overcome the world!
You are going to make it because you are more than a conqueror! Greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.
We serve a loving God & He is full of mercy, grace & compassion for His children.
