| He's my comfort |
| This is not really a Bible study, per se, but a few verses I looked up one time when I felt weak and needed His comfort. I wrote them on a piece of paper and carry them with me so they're availabe when I need them. I've changed some of the pronouns to make them more personal. "...the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." -2 Corinthians 1:3b-4 "On Him [I] have set [my] hope that he will continue to deliver [me]." -2 Corinthians 1:10b "He knows how [I] am formed, he remembers that [I] am dust." -Psalms 103:14 "I lift my eyes up to the hills--where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let [my] foot slip--he who watches over [me] will not slumber." -Psalms 121:1-3 "I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning." -Psalms 130:5,6 "May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance." -2 Thessalonians 3:5 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. You annoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and lvoe will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." -Psalms 23 |
