Sometimes we need to feel comfort. Comfort in time of death, pain, lost loved ones, health issues, or just any burden or suffering  we may have. His grace has been a comfort to us and our family and church family, especially over the past few weeks. A dear lady in our church recieved bad news the other day. She was told she has stage 4 cancer.. She is probably one of the strongest Christian ladies I have ever met. She is a really nice lady and has a huge heart, and is always willing to jump in and tackle any problem!!! I hope I am known for that!!!

Seems like every time I need comforting, the book of Psalms is always a book of comfort and wonderful promises.Promises from the Father of being with me or you when we face those uncertain valleys..... but EVEN IN THE VALLEY, GOD IS GOOD!!!....

Psalm 23:4 KJV Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: mfor thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

WHAT A COMFORT TO KNOW HE IS WITH US EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!

our GOD is so much BIGGER than any fear we have or problem we are facing!!

So many songs come to mind. I am glad God can comfort us through music. I sing a song at church sometimes... we have not sung it in a while, but i still sing  it in my heart.
''my GOD is BIGGER than the mountains, or the raging sea, HE'S bigger than MY worries, bigger than my NEEDS, he is the rock of ages, sweet VICTORY AT LAST, no matter what the problem, GOD'S BIGGER THAN THAT. HE is bigger than all my PROBLEMS, bigger than all my fears, GOD is bigger than mountain than I can or can not see, BIGGER than all my QUESTIONS, bigger than anything, GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY MOUNTAIN THAT I CAN OR CAN NOT SEE!!! NO MATTER WHAT THE PROBLEM, GOD'S BIGGER THAN THAT!!''
IT is a comfort to know HE is faithful to be there if we lean on Him. HE is bigger than any loss we have, cancer, problem or any fear we have.!!!! amen!!

II Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

When you have experienced the comfort from God, it is easy to tell others that God will see them through because HE proved His FAITHFULNESS.
Praying for comfort right now for two parents I know, who will, or have just recently gave birth to a still born baby suffering from HYDROPS.. and for the dear lady I spoke of with the cancer.
