When life overwhelms us, it is natural to look for comfort. It’s easy to choose the things of the world to calm and comfort us, whether it be alcohol, drugs, or anything else that gives us comfort. But if we follow Jesus we should search for comfort in two places either His presence or His Word.
During difficult times we should shift our focus to the things of God, not the world, instead of looking for the comforts of earth or living in fear of our circumstances, we can look to the One who holds us up. But, it begins with recognizing who God is.
God’s Word is given to us as the rock to build our lives upon. We can turn to it when life happens and seek relief.
When we know the power of prayer and acknowledge who God is, His character, and worth, we can acknowledge who we are and ask for His grace. This draws us closer to God -the source of our comfort, our strength, and our peace.
