The God of all comfort waits today to comfort you. No limitations. No deductions.

Among all the names that reveal God, this, the “God of all comfort,” seems to me one of the loveliest and the most absolutely comforting. The words all comfort admit of no limitations and no deductions.

~~Hannah Whitall Smith

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

We love seeing the word all if it points to something favorable for us. We love when all of the shoes at our favorite store are on sale, or all of the candies in the bowl are dark chocolate, or all of the bills are paid in full. However, when all aspects of life seem to crash down around us, that’s a different matter. We find ourselves in desperate need of the “God of all comfort.”  

Consider the ramifications of that name. No problem or heartache is outside of God’s range of comfort. He has unlimited resources—a vast wellspring—at his disposal. When we’re hurting, truly the loveliest name of all describes God bringing us not some comfort, not comfort for some things, but all the comfort we need.

The God of all comfort waits today to comfort you. No limitations. No deductions.

Prayer for Meditation

God of all comfort, I need your comfort right now.

Scripture for Meditation

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
