Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. God is the God of all comfort, providing relief from pain, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, and offering new strength, encouragement, support, consolation, and security. His presence and protection, as symbolized by the rod and staff in Psalm 23, give relief from every fear. In Psalm 71:21, His comfort is described as complete, thorough, and consistent, surrounding on every side during severe trials. Throughout Psalm 119, His word, judgments, and merciful kindness are sources of comfort, reminding us of His nature and bringing hope. In Psalm 94:19, even amidst a multitude of anxieties, His comforts delight the soul. In Jeremiah 31, He promises to turn mourning to joy, comforting and causing rejoicing instead of sorrow. In Isaiah 66:13, He assures that as a mother comforts her son, so will He comfort His people. In Isaiah 61:1-2, He is anointed to comfort all who mourn and heal the brokenhearted. Regardless of past experiences, He remains the God of all comfort, and as we are comforted by Him, we can become conduits of that comfort to others. His everlasting consolation and good hope, as mentioned in II Thessalonians 2:16-17, comfort hearts and establish us in every good word and work. Until we receive what He offers, often through others, we cannot fully know the experience of being comforted, nor can we easily give comfort to others without His presence as the God of all comfort.
