God Of All Comfort
Silence and stillness before God (2 minutes)
Scripture reading
Scripture reading:
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
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…
Devotional
God is not distant in grief, He is the God of all comfort. He draws near with compassion, entering our sorrow and lifting us with His presence. His comfort does not remove the ache but surrounds it with peace.
This comfort is also meant to overflow. As God comforts us, we become able to comfort others. Grief shared becomes grief lightened, and hope multiplies as we pass on the consolation we ourselves have received.
Question to consider
Where do you most need to receive God’s comfort today, and where might He be calling you to share it with others?
Prayer
God of compassion, hold me in your comfort. Heal my sorrow with your presence, and help me bring your comfort to others in their grief.
