Amongst the many wonderful truths which are spoken of God in the Bible, one of the most wonderful and beautiful is that He is a "God of comfort." "Comfort" is such a soothing word in itself, that, the moment we hear of it in connection with God we are led to expect great things; some cheering, some lifting up, some refreshment, some ease, some lightening of our trouble, something very good.O Thou most worthy judge eternal, we have no comfort in ourselves, and unless Thou hadst revealed Thyself as a comforting God we could have had none in Thee. Show Thyself to us, as Thou art in Thy word. ...

In the vast tapestry of divine truths woven throughout the Bible, one of the most beautiful is the revelation of God as a God of comfort. The word comfort itself carries a soothing power, inviting us to anticipate uplifting, refreshing, and relieving experiences in His presence. We acknowledge that without Your revelation, O Eternal Judge, we would find no solace within ourselves. Illuminate our hearts with Your comforting nature, and grant peace to all who engage with this book, through the grace of the Great Peacemaker—Jesus Christ, our Prince of Peace. Amen.
