St. John’s Comfort Page
We all need comfort! Loneliness, weariness, separation, loss, sickness and pain can be overwhelming at times for all of us. The Word of God is full of wonderful promises that I know can comfort you. So if you came here feeling a little discouraged then you are in the right place! |
Our God is an awesome God. He reigns........... "Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O
earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted
his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted." Our God is the God of all comfort! Not even the tiniest details of your life are unnoticed by the Lord! He knows all about you and loves you just the same. He loves you unconditionally. |
God loves you! You are not alone! Even
though sometimes it may seem that way. The Bible is full of wonder, awe and yet is practical and full of God's promises. |

"But HE knows the way that I
take. John 16:33, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." - Jesus Christ. "Come unto me, all ye that labour
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light." "In returning and rest shall you be
saved. In quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you would
not" "Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I
am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength
faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed." "Be still and know that I am
God" But God's GRACE is sufficient. I know this from personal experience. For when I am weak then He is strong, He can indeed take our tragedies and turn them into triumph. "And he said unto me, My grace is
sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly
therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may
rest upon me." The verses listed below will remind you
that the Lord is near and waiting to hear your cry out to Him. "What time I am afraid I will trust
in thee" "There hath no temptation taken you
but such that is common to man. But God is faithful who will not tempt you
beyond that which ye are able but will with that temptation make a way in
which to escape." "Cast all your care on Him, for He
careth for you" Have you read Psalm 139? It is really wonderful! It tells us that God knows everything about us and He still loves us. He knows what we have done, what we are doing and what we will do BUT He still loves us. Unconditionally! So if you are feeling unloved or alone just read this Psalm for some comfort. Remember that the Lord is in control. His love is the BEST kind of love. During difficult times reading a Psalm a day can give you
great comfort. It really looks like a mess. Lots of
knots and loose strings. BUT if you look at it from the top it is all neat,
orderly and beautiful. Sometimes our life seems like that too. We get all
caught up in the little details and forget to see the bigger picture from the
top. So next time you are looking at your life and everything looks all
messed up, stop and look |
