Comfort & Strength

When someone is hurting, our immediate impulse  

is to envelop them in a safe, comforting hug.  

Thankfully, God is no different. 

Lord, 

Sometimes life sends us hard things.  

And even when we trust you,  

our hearts still ache.  

Please bring your comfort and strength  

to each one of us who is facing a difficult time.  

With each step we take,  

may we feel your presence with us.  

When we are weak, hold us up.  

When we are tired, carry us.  

Show us your love in new ways each day,  

and remind us often that because  

you are with us, we will make it through  

not somehow, but triumphantly.  

Today’s Reading: Psalm 31:7 NLT 

I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, 
    for you have seen my troubles, 
    and you care about the anguish of my soul.
