Comforting Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ Name, thank you for encouraging me to comfort others with Your Word when they are in need. Your Word will never fail anyone because You are everywhere present, all knowing, all powerful, and unchanging. By helping others in their difficult situations, You give me a better perspective on my needs and how You want to and do give me comfort with my life problems.

Thank you for the times when You give me comfort through Your mercies and grace. 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 tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” It is a blessing that You share in Your Word, the Bible, what You want me to do so that You can comfort me. You encourage me to read Your Word, pray, listen to biblical music, and fellowship with other believers. I can only share with others Your comfort after I learn how to be comforted myself.

Remind me often how important it is to build a strong foundation in Your Word before the storm comes. It is very difficult to build a strong foundation in the midst of a storm. Teach me to practice what is expressed in 1 Peter 5:6-7 so that when the time comes that I need Your comfort, I will be ready. “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

Enable me to be alert to the needs of others and comfort those around me that need the same comfort You have given me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

P.S. These prayers will only work if you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you need help understanding God’s plan of salvation for you (the way to Heaven), go to this page on our site: https://timewithourcreator.com/2016/06/02/salvation/
