In my search today for answers I came up with 4 Bible verses, all of which speak of great peace and comfort.
Isaiah 66:13(NIV) As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you …
Your mother may have never given you the comfort you needed, But God did, does and always will. It may seem as though He didn’t, but you have nothing to compare to your own experience. I wonder what it would have been like if He hadn’t comforted you?
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) 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 have received from God.
God’s comfort is there for us and His comfort enables us to be His comfort to others. I love those verses. Just think, you can comfort because God has comforted you! I can comfort because God has comforted me! All can comfort because God has comforted them! That is so amazing.
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
It may seem otherwise, but God is there. He did not approve of the abuse. It makes Him angry. But He has a plan that we cannot understand and He does go with us.
Psalm 91:1 (NIV) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the Shadow of the Almighty.
His comfort is there. Please pray for yourself if you need comfort and He will give it. And pray for others who need it too.
