THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who
comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble
with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

you in YOUR trouble…you can now be used to comfort someone
else in ANY trouble.

How to Experience Good Grief
1. Talk about it.
1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
2 Corinthians 7:5-6 For even when we came into Macedonia, our bodies
had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn—fighting without and fear
within. 6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming
of Titus,
James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one
another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has
great power as it is working.
2. Be still.
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the
nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
3. Grieve with hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers,
about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who
have no hope.
1 Kings 17:2-6 And the word of the LORD came to him: 3 “Depart from here
and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of
the Jordan. 4 You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the
ravens to feed you there.” 5 So he went and did according to the word of
the LORD. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread
and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
