The God Of All Comfort

There are times in our lives when things can be rather difficult and trying.  We may feel like we are being crushed by a heavy load.  We know that we can trust the Lord and we try to focus on Him, but we find that hard to do also at times.  We all get distracted and sidetracked at times.  Thankfully the Lord is patient with us and He is very merciful and full of grace.

There will be trying times that we will each encounter on our journey here on the earth.  The trials may be long, dark, and highly uncomfortable.  The trials may also be lonely and aggravating as well.  We may ask God why these things are happening to us at this moment in our lives, but sometimes we may never truly discover the answer on this side of eternity anyway.

There is a lot of suffering in our world these days.  We watch the news on our devices and we read about bad things happening all over the world.  It bothers me to see people suffer and it really bothers me when I suffer in one way or another.

When we encounter times of suffering we can be thankful that the Lord our God will comfort us in our times of need.  God is the God of all comfort.  He will draw near to us when we draw near to Him.  The Lord loves us with a deep unconditional love.  God loves you!  He will never leave you and He will never forsake you.

When we encounter times of suffering may we continue to trust in the Lord and draw near to Him.  The Lord may try to teach us something during our trial and suffering.  We whom have suffered can minster to others and bring them comfort as the Lord comforted us during our trial.

Let's comfort those who are suffering with various things and let's lift them up in prayer to the Lord.

Lord,
Thank You for comforting us during our trails.
Help us to bring comfort to those in need.
Come soon Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
