20 Bible Verses to Comfort the Hurting

Tweet

You need comfort now. Perhaps you have had some life circum- stance that has caused such hurt that you do not know where to turn. Do not fear; you can have comfort which comes from the Holy Spirit — He is called the Comforter and He gives peace and healing to your hurting heart. The Comforter is with us from the moment we believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay our  penalty for sin (Eph 1:12-14). You can rest in the strength of the Holy Spirit, and have comfort that is unspeakable and delightful.  The Bible has so much to say about the promise of comfort and peace. I pray that you find your comfort in the truth that these twenty Bible verses to comfort the hurting offer.
