Finding Comfort in God 

“Remember your word to your servant by which you give me hope.  This is my comfort in affliction, your promise that gives me life.” (Psalm 119: 49 – 50)

 

Life is full of problems and trials, some trivial, some extremely difficult.  We need to find a source for comfort and strength in those times.  That comfort can be found in God.

Jesus brought healing and comfort to so many when He walked this earth.  He still brings that comfort to those who turn to Him in their suffering.  His mercy and His love is endless; no problem is so difficult that He cannot help.

In our humanity we cannot understand all the ways of God.  His plan is perfect even though we can’t fully know what His plan may be.  In prayer we can place our problems before Him in confidence.  He will not refuse our petitions, though His solution may not be the one we would have desired.  It is in those times that we must trust in Him and have faith that all is in His hands and will ultimately result in good.

When life becomes seems unbearable God is always there, reaching out to us.  He loves us, He cares for us; we are His children.  When we turn to Him in faith and trust His ways, we can bear whatever cross we may be called to carry.
