"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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 oursleves have received from God." ~2 Corinthians 1:3-4
"You don't have to be alone in your hurt! Comfort is yours. Joy is an option. and it's all been made possible by your Savior. He went without comfort so you might have it.

"In the secret of God's tabernacle no enemy can find us, and no troubles can reach us. The pride of man and the strife of tongues find no entrance into the pavillion of God. The secret of his presence is a more secure refuge than a thousand Gilbraltars. I do not mean that no trials come. They may come in abundance, but they cannot penetrate into the sanctuary of the soul, and we may dwell in perfect peace even in the midst of life's fiercest storms." ~Hannah Whitall Smith
"To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, "Come to me and rest". But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same invitation is meant. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service, and do not mistake it. It is not, "Go labour on," as perhaps you imagine. On the contrary, it is stop, turn back, "Come to me and rest." Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work: never, never did He send a hungary one, a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service. For such the Bible only says, "Come, come, come."
~James Hudson Taylor
"A believer longs after God - to come into His presence - to feel near to Him in secret - to feel in the crowd that he is nearer than all the creatures. Ah! dear brethren, have you ever tasted this blessedness? There is greater rest and solace to be found in the presence of God for one hour, than in an enternity of the presence of man." ~Robert Murray M.Cheyene
"When you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms." ~Frances de Sales
"Our valleys may be filled with foes and tears; but we can lift our eyes to the hills to see God and the angels, heaven's spectators, who support us according to God's infinate wisdom as they prepare our welcome." ~Billy Graham
"God is down front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorow that fills men with dread. God is already there. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us."
~Frederick Brotherton (F.B.) Meyer
"Dear God, Help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief." ~Timothy Dailey
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea" ~Psalm 46:1-2
"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again." ~Psalm 71:20-21
"But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the LORD has forgotten me." "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me." ~Isaiah 49:14-16
