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 God, thank you for the Holy Spirit, who dwells within me. I turn to him for comfort in times of trouble. Thank you that he comes alongside me with your comforting strength so I can endure victoriously, any suffering that I experience in life.
