Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Some things you can do today with God’s name
- God is the God of all comfort. When we are sad, hurting, depressed, stressed, or grieving, He is the One we can turn to for comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles.
- I’ve experienced the Lord as my comfort so many times. Let me share a few times He was my Comforter.
- He was there holding me when I was all alone in boarding school down in Guatemala from the time I was six to thirteen. He comforted me when there was no one else who really seemed to care.
- He comforted me during Daniel’s (my middle son) six short months on earth and in the months following his death.
- He held me close as I lay curled up in bed, wanting to die, after my fiancé was killed on his motorcycle.
- I can truly say, He is the God of all Comfort.
- How do you need the Lord to comfort you today? Let Him be your comforter in whatever you are going through.
- 2 Corinthians 1:4 says that He comforts us so we can comfort others with the comfort He gave us. Who in your life needs comfort today? Call or visit that person and share God’s comfort with him or her.
