How does God comfort us?

How does God comfort us? By speaking directly to us (John 14:27) Through the Bible (Psalm 119:105) Through music Through other people (John 11:19, 2 Cor. 7:6) By fixing our problem/struggle (Psalm 107:6)

God does comfort us in our struggles, but…. Comfort is the easing of our grief, sadness, etc., over time, NOT the immediate healing of those feelings, heartache, etc.

God does comfort us in our struggles, but…. Comfort is the easing of our grief, sadness, etc., over time, NOT the immediate healing of those feelings, heartache, etc. This is my comfort in my affliction: Your promise has given me life. (Psalm 119:50) Lord, I remember your judgments from long ago and find comfort. (Psalm 119:52) Your faithful love comforts me. (Psalm 119:76) My eyes grow weary looking for what You have promised; I ask, “When will You comfort me?” How many days must your servant wait? (Psalm 119:82, 84)

God does comfort us in our struggles, but…. Comfort is the easing of our grief, sadness, etc., over time, NOT the immediate healing of those feelings, heartache, etc. We must have a “receiving posture” if we are going to receive comfort.

(Genesis 37:35) I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted. (Psalm 77:2)
