2 Corinthians 1:3–4
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those who are in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
Understanding this passage
Paul names God as the source of all comfort. Our pain can later become a way to help others—but first, God meets us in it.
Why this verse helps
God is not distant from your trouble. He is the Father of compassion who comforts you in it.
A prayer for you
God of all comfort, meet me in my trouble. Wrap me in Your compassion today. Amen.
