Seeking Comfort

By Leave a Comment

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4)

If you are seeking relief from your affliction or sorrow, may God comfort you in your distress. Let Him remind you of His goodness, soothe you with His love, and heal you in your pain. Give Him your weakness to make you strong, your fear to make you brave, and your sadness to give you joy.

Take care of yourself during this time, as He ministers His comfort to you. Remember to eat when you are hungry, rest when you feel tired, and go to sleep at your normal bedtime.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus,

Help those who are feeling overwhelmed to experience your comfort. Settle them with your lasting peace, reassure them of your continued presence, and help them to lean on your own understanding.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your intervention at this time for anyone who is feeling emotionally upset. Amen.

May you embrace your inheritance as a child in God’s kingdom, who is fully protected and secure in Jesus of Nazareth. There is nothing for you to do, except to enjoy His perfect love, settle into His peace, and move into the warmth of His presence.

Jesus of Nazareth is your most trusted friend. He will come to you if you ask Him, or you can go to Him whenever you need His care. He waits for you with much anticipation, because He loves you very much, and He enjoys spending time with you. So why don’t you spend the next few moments enjoying His presence?

Are you weary? Then relax in His presence, so that He can give you rest. Are you sick? He is your Great Physician, who longs to comfort you and to make you feel better. Are you lonely? Speak to Him, for He can calm your troubled heart. Are you afraid? Remember, He will always be your reassuring peace.

When you are in doubt, His faith will be your constant anchor to restore your lost hope. In the midst of giving up, choose to lean upon Him for your continued strength. When you feel vulnerable, let Him cover you under the shelter of His wings. So child, rest secure in His love for you, for it never changes and it has no end. Amen.
