Comforted of God
(God) Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:4 - NKJV
Avoid the temptation to simply bustle through life's trying and discomforting circumstances! You may think, "I have no time now to wait on God for His comfort." Recognise this though, God's promises that He will comfort you come with the responsibility that you go to Him for His comfort. Resort to God in trying times and you'll find His comfort. His comfort will settle and encourage you. Isa.40:1, Joh.14:16.
You have to step aside from the affairs that surround you in order to partake of God's comfort. People in the world live life in the stress and strain of unrelenting busyness, personal confrontations or uncomfortable circumstances. In contrast, the Christian life is meant to be lived in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Receive God's comfort and it will settle you down into a confident expectation of things being put right. You will also gain a wonderful awareness of God with you. Failing to resort to God for His comfort will usually leave you muddling through and often messing up in your relationships and your tasks. Jer.29:11.
God's comfort will restore peace to you. For each trying circumstance, for each time of busyness, and after every unsettling communications, seek the comfort of God! Find His comfort so it can draw you out and save you from your discomfort. And there's a bonus, you will become a comforter once you've been comforted. You'll find that the comfort you've received enables you to comfort others!
Receive God's comfort in your life!
