Scripture and a Prayer: “Comforted and Comforting”

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

Prayer:

Lord, we really can’t thank you enough for how You comfort us when everything around us is spinning out of control and there’s no rhyme or reason. But You came and gave us peace, a peace that passes all understanding through Your Son, Jesus Christ. But such comfort and peace were not given so that we can keep it to ourselves, but to share it with others who are going through it as well. Therefore, Lord, please give us the strength and courage to share Your wonderful peace with others, telling them how they in like manner need to come to Jesus. May we always remember Your blessing that when we minister to others of Your love, comfort, and peace, that You minister it back unto us. AMEN
