His Comfort

SCRIPTURE

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Matthew 5:4
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.


PRAYER

Lord, today I ask that you would send an angelic messenger to ______, carrying a double measure of your comfort to be poured directly into his heart. And after that another, and another, and then another, until he is filled up and overflowing. You know that he needs that comfort today, this morning, this moment. So please give it generously. Push out the sense of loss, and replace it with the memories that have been gifted to him over the years. I pray that he would be truly blessed as your comfort washes over his mourning. And Lord, as he lingers in that place of peaceful comfort, I ask that you would bring him a new gift, a gift of hope. I pray that he would know beyond a doubt that you see the true dream of his deep heart, and that you are promising to fulfill the desire of his heart as he delights in you. I ask that he would see the serendipitous events of yesterday as evidence of your sovereign tapestry, and so would be moved to trust you for tomorrow… giving him hope for today. And just as he begins to feel this new hope begin to rise on the horizon of his future, send another brigade of angels with triple loads of comfort. Overwhelm him with your love today. Amen.

ENCOURAGEMENT

He knows. He cares. He understands. And he is there for you, pouring out his comfort. You have felt it before, feel it again today. Receive his blessing.
