Don't leave me hanging out here alone, GOD! I need to be rescued. I'm counting on you because of your faithfulness and love.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:4 (CEB)
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.
THE ESSENCE
We turn to Christ for relief, and then pass what we've received on to others who need relief.
DAILY FODDER
How do you typically express your needs for comfort and relief to God? How have you seen him respond in the past?
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for responding to my calls for help. You not only rescue me but you use the whole situation to build my faith. Forgive me for acting like a drama queen, using the situation to meet MY desire for attention. Given what I know about you, help me to turn my trials into relief for the others who are in distress. I'm eager to pass along your grace to those in need, without making it all about me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
