Today’s Scripture

“All praises belong to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he is the Father of tender mercy and the God of endless comfort. He always comes alongside us to comfort us in every suffering so that we can come alongside those who are in any painful trial. We can bring them this same comfort that God has poured out upon us. And just as we experience the abundance of Christ’s own sufferings, even more of God’s comfort will cascade upon us through our union with Christ. If troubles weigh us down, that just means that we will receive even more comfort to pass on to you for your deliverance! For the comfort pouring into us empowers us to bring comfort to you. And with this comfort upholding you, you can endure victoriously the same suffering that we experience. Now our hope for you is unshakable, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings you will also share in God’s comforting strength.” 

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

Today’s Thought

Let the Holy Spirit, our comforter, carry the load of life. Remember to check in frequently with the Holy Spirit, for he is the power of God for everything you need in life.

Today’s Confession

Father, I praise You for being the source of tender mercy and endless comfort. Thank You for the promise that You are always by my side in times of suffering. Help me to remember to lean on the Holy Spirit, my Comforter, to carry my burdens and guide me through life's challenges. May I also be a vessel of Your comfort to others, sharing the strength and hope You provide. I trust that in every trial, your grace is sufficient, and Your comfort will empower me to endure.
