ARE WE COMFORTING PEOPLE

“Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.”

Isaiah 40:1 KJV

God said we are to comfort one another.  Are we doing it?  Are we comforting people as God has told us to do?  We need one another.  The person who says he or she doesn’t need anyone is not being truthful.  Even Jesus needed to be comforted and encouraged.  May God help us to be comforters to one another.

What about our spouses, our children and our parents?  Are we comforting them?  O that every family would put Jesus first in everything they do and say.  May our children see the difference Jesus has made in our heart and life so they will invite Him into their heart.  May Jesus be praised in everything we do.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the many countless times You have comforted and encouraged me.  Please help me to be an encourager and a comforter to those who are hurting.  I pray for every pastor who is preaching the good news of our risen Saviour.  Please comfort them.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
