It's a guilt-inducing lie to say that Jesus looks at us when we're in trouble or pain and says things like: "get over it" or "you don't even know what real pain is". The Bible says Jesus sympathizes with us in our weaknesses. (Hebrews 4:15) It does not say he sits in judgment on our fatigue. Psalm 103:14 in fact says the opposite:
“He knows our frame, that we are made of dust.”
Never in Scripture do we see Jesus dismiss the feelings of others or invalidate those in distress. On the contrary, God’s Word reiterates the safety found in seeking God as our refuge when we are weak (Psalm 46:1–3), and as a shelter when we are suffering (Psalm 62:8). If you remember anything today, know this: Jesus will never invalidate your pain. He isn't in competition with you to see whose pain is worse. That's not who he is at all.
