"Blessed be the Theos, even the Father of our Lord Iesous Christou, the Father of mercies, and Theos of all comfort (parakleseos - One who comes along our side for strength, hope, and courage); Who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able (given power) to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God (II Cor. 1:3-4)."
We do not walk alone as believers. There is no need to ever feel that one is alone because we have the assurance of God's presence when life gets tough. Life is tough sometimes and it may get so tough that one may lack the courage to continue.
Let me assure you that God knows how tough life can get and he will come along your side and give you the power to receive courage. He not only comforts us in some of our troubles, but in all of our troubles. In the Greek text the word 'trouble' is 'thipsei' and it means to break, crush, compress, or distress.
There are times when you may feel that you are about to break under pressure, crushed by circumstances, and squeezed by anxiety. What Theos has given in the incomparable Ieous is priceless. The afflictions that you and I experience must come through the Iesous. He will not put more on us that we can bear through Him.
Remember, our consolation abounds by the Iesous Do you need comfort from the stresses of life today? Take your request to the Theos of all comfort.
