Facing the Giant of Grief and LossVoorbeeld

# Let Him comfort you ## ‘Praise be to...the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.’ 2 Corinthians 1:3 NIV God can make you comfortable in the most uncomfortable places. He can pull you out of situations you thought you’d be stuck in forever. He can give you peace even in the midst of trauma. Before your life is over, you will live, love and experience loss. Losing some things will actually help you to appreciate the things you still have. It’s the taste of failure that makes success so sweet. How can you celebrate victory unless you’ve known defeat? You’ll live each day not knowing what tomorrow holds, but knowing that God holds all your tomorrows. They’re not in the hands of your boss, your lawyer, your friend or anybody else. Nor are they in your hands to manipulate and control. No, all your tomorrows are in God’s hands! So whatever you do, get to know Him; because you will need Him and He will be there for you. He’ll be there when everybody and everything else has gone. He’ll be there for you in the dark places. His promise to you is: ‘Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning’ (Psalm 30:5 AMPC) – however long the night, morning always comes and with it His joy. Just think, no matter how dark the night, you’ve always lived to see the morning, right? Somehow His grace has protected you, provided for you, secured you, calmed and comforted you and brought you through. Times and seasons change, but not God. He is always ‘the God of all comfort’ and He’s watching over you today! #### Prayer Point: I pray today, Lord, that I might be able to understand more of Your character, more of Your heart and more of who You are. Thank You, Lord, that in times of distress and pain, You’re there to bring comfort and peace. Thank You for being the light in my moments of darkness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
