28 Days to Pray: Day 15

Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-7: 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 may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort.

As you pray, draw to the God of all comfort. He knows your needs, your weaknesses, and your strengths. His loving arms can and will bring you rest and peace.

And now Lord, I offer You praise. You are comfort and peace. You are trustworthy and true. You are deliverer and sustainer. I look to You for all things, Jesus.

Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls. – Thomas Brooks
