God provides whatever comfort it is that we need. He is our God of all comfort. Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as Christ’s sufferings are ours in abundance [as they overflow to His followers], so also our comfort [our reassurance, our encouragement, our consolation] is abundant through Christ [it is truly more than enough to endure what we must]. But if we are troubled and distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted and encouraged, it is for your comfort, which works [in you] when you patiently endure the same sufferings which we experience. And our hope for you [our confident expectation of good for you] is firmly grounded [assured and unshaken], since we know that just as you share as partners in our sufferings, so also you share as partners in our comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:2-8)
‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation. (Isaiah 41:10)
Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me. (Psalm 23:4)
Your comforts delight me. (Psalm 94:19) Not only is He with you, He's in you. He has put the comforter, His Holy Spirit inside of you. He says to you, fear not. The Lord is there to bring us joy and peace. He wants us to rest knowing that we have a comforter. The Holy Spirit is always with us and there during the good and the bad times. Our faith is trusting in Your faithful presence to bring us comfort and peace, living out the reality that this world is yours, your presence is everywhere, your love is unfailing, and you are King.
Blessed and greatly favored are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence; They will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah (Psalm 84:4)
Because the King of the whole Earth is God! Sing praise to him. (Psalm 47:7)
