God’s comfort

“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 our troubles…” 1 Corinthians 1: 3-4

When I started this blog I wasn’t sure how I was going to know what to write, should I try to think about what y’all struggle with at school or at home and write about such things, should I write about what I am going through and hope you can relate, or should I simply trust that because we are all God’s children and we all have our own struggles, that He will make it relative to each individual situation….well, obviously, I went with the last option. So, today, I am struggling with some things in my life and I desperately needed comfort. I was doing a Bible study this morning and I came across this passage of scripture talking about God comforting us in times of trouble and I think it’s something that we all need to hear. Whether your struggle is that your friend talked about you behind your back, your boyfriend broke up with you, your parents seem to be completely unreasonable, you got a bad grade…whatever it is, you can take comfort in knowing that your Heavenly Father has His arms wrapped around you at that very moment saying, “Everything is going to be ok, I love you my precious daughter.” If you girls are willing to confess to Him that things just aren’t going your way and if you are willing to just talk to Him, like you would a friend, I can promise you that He will listen. It is going to require you to sit still and be quiet, as it says in Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God.” and once you are still and quiet, He will comfort you with His Love. I know that many of you have said one of the reasons you don’t pray or go to God with your problems is because He doesn’t give you an immediate response, and I know how frustrating that can be…but God says that when we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him. (Jeremiah 29:13). He will show up and He will comfort you during those hard times when your hearts are broken or your spirits are crushed and you just feel like you want to crawl in bed and never get out…He is compassionate, and His love for you will never fail. So try this sometime this week, when something happens that just really sucks and you need some comfort, get on your knees and ask your Father in Heaven for comfort, ask Him to wrap His arms around you and tell you He loves you. And then close your eyes and be still….and He will.
