He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. ~ 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
The comfort we receive from God should be passed along to others.PRAYER:
Lord, I am so grateful for meeting me in my times of trouble. The world around me is crazy but you give me comfort and hope. Sometimes, though, I get caught up in the despair and ignore the hope and comfort -- getting all riled up instead. I end up saying harsh and hurtful things rather than offering hope and comfort. Help me to control my anger and to spend my energy comforting rather than always confronting. I'm going to trust you to work out the details so that I feel free to comfort the hurting. In Jesus' name I prayer, Amen.
