Jesus Is My Comforter
by Kerri Bland
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 … our comfort is abundant through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
When I was pregnant with Jennifer, our oldest daughter, I had an ovarian tumor. Denis and I elected not to have diagnostic testing and chose to tell only a few close Christian friends about this complication.
The “what ifs” were difficult and I found it hard to pray and trust God with my life and the life of my child. Dave and Barb Kendall were among the couples who held us up in prayer.
During those months I experienced the comfort of Jesus in a powerful way. When I awoke in the morning and at random times during the day, my mind was filled with Scripture and song that reminded me of His love.
I am thankful for the faithful prayers of believers who pleaded with God for physical healing and emotional peace. And I thank Jesus that He was my Comfort and kept my mind focused on His love.

Whom could you bring before Jesus today? Ask Him to be your friend’s Comforter and speak His love to her heart and mind.
