Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. 2 Corinthians 1:3–5 (NIV)
For this is what the LORD says. . .
As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you. . .
When you see this, your heart will rejoice
and you will flourish like grass;
the hand of the LORD will be made known to his servants,
but his fury will be shown to his foes.
Isaiah 66:12–14 (NIV)
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 2 Corinthians 1:4 (NLT)
LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless.
Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. Psalm 10:17 (NLT)
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

You don’t need to cry anymore. The Lord is kind, and as soon as he hears your cries for help, he will come.
Isaiah 30:19 (CEV)
The High and Lofty One lives forever, and his name is holy.

I live in a high and holy place.
But I am with those who are crushed and humble.
I will renew the spirit of those who are humble
and the courage of those who are crushed.

he drew me out of deep waters. Psalm 18:16 (NIV)

but you’ve taken my hand.
You wisely and tenderly lead me,
and then you bless me. Psalm 73:23–24 (MSG)

the beloved rests between his shoulders. Deuteronomy 33:12 (NRSV)
