The LORD has sent me to comfort those who mourn...
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4 (CEB)
May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be blessed! He is the compassionate Father and God of all comfort. He’s the one who comforts us in all our trouble so that we can comfort other people who are in every kind of trouble. We offer the same comfort that we ourselves received from God.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God comforts us so that we can comfort others.
DAILY FODDER
When you are having difficulties, how does God comfort you? How is Christ himself the source of comfort?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for sending your Comforter to ease us through the difficult times. I'm not always one to pay it forward when I see others in distress. It's so painful to see people hurting that I busy myself with other important matters. Fill me again with your comfort so the Holy Spirit can use me to comfort others. I want to be a part of the great divine cycle of comfort. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
