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.
Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
His Arms Hold the Universe, Let Him Hold You
Psalms 9:9 The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Psalms 27:4-5 One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock.
Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
God Knows Your Hurt, He Will Not Ignore Your Need
Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning
Psalms 22:24 For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him.
Psalms 56:8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
Psalms 116:1-2 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
Comfort is a Bible Promise
Psalms 119:48-52 I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes. Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life. The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law. When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O LORD.
Lamentations 3:31-32 For the Lord will not cast off forever, but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
John 14:16-18 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.”I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you…”
John 14:26-27 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Good News! Your Hurting is Only Temporary
Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV) It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Psalms 30:5 …Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
Psalms 71:20-21 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.
John 16:22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. (Jesus’ words)
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Revelation 21:5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

m blessed thank u so much
pse let me get daily updates of comforting words
thanks for ur words of comfort.
I love to read articles on the HOLY BIBLE ,the inspired word of GOD (KJV) as is . no private interpretation . We know the HOLY BIBLE was written by HOLY men as GOD revealed his word to them . IT is the instruction book for our lives 24-7.
If we deviate from the instructions ,then we get lost in the confusion .
As I read your Article a thought just popped into my mind . You said you are an avid bird watcher ,so am I . But my thought was, Christianity is not for the birds, as some may think . although he keeps watch over them and the animals . GOD bless you as you do his will . sincerely , russ .

Thank you the scripture of comfort helped my through a difficult time tonight and reminded me to pray ” through the storm” God is good all the time and I am so grateful that I am free to devote my life to him.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful verses. Your site is a blessing to me. I just have one small issue though: In Psalms 22 the word afflicted means poor/needy. It does not mean afflicted with pain or disease according to the greek transliteration of “aniy”.
I would just like to thank you for posting this. It was a much needed reminder to press on without fear. Psalm 116 was and still is much needed and appreciated right now.
I am a student at New Life and Bible College in America Hills Vile Street as a Masters student in Bible Studies under online program, in this case can you send me the different scriptures as you provide daily. Thank you I am Jackson Ng’araga
