Isaiah 41:10

DO YOU LONG to experience comfort in life? Scripture promises us that God is faithful to comfort us when we need it. Sometimes we miss out because we expect him to comfort us by solving our problems. However, God calms and reassures us in a variety of ways. His comfort may come through his love, his Word, his presence, or his people. As you read his Word, reflect on how God may be comforting you right now. Go to him in your times of need and watch him encourage you in ways you might never have expected.
