Day 1: God of all comfort
Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus ChristJesus of Nazareth, also called the Christ or the Messiah, is the central figure of the New Testament and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. Born in the line of David, He taught with divine authority, performed miracles, and revealed the kingdom of God. More, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
This reading plan is pastoral Scripture study, not crisis counseling, legal advice, or medical care. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. In the US and Canada, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Reach a trusted pastor, counselor, or doctor alongside these daily readings. Suffering is not proof God abandoned you. He comforts so we can comfort.
“The Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction…”
Where do you need comfort more than explanation?
Practice: Receive comfort in prayer without forcing answers. Father of mercies, comfort me. Amen.
