Seven Sources of Comfort
List by Ami Hendrickson
A treasury of places to find comfort, support, and strength when I need it most.
Comfort comes from God
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, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Even when suffering, I find comfort in Christ
2 Corinthians 1:5, 7
For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so also are you of the comfort.
The comfort of prayer and the Holy Spirit
John 14:16-17
I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever: the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
I can find comfort and support with other believers
2 Corinthians 1:6
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
I find comfort in godly friends
Job 42:10-11
The LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
God's Word comforts me
Psalm 119:50
This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me.
God's law and God's Word comfort me
Psalm 119:76-77
Please let your loving kindness be for my comfort, according to your word to your servant. Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
