Bible Words of Comfort

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; 
His mercies never come to an end; they
are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, 
"Therefore I hope in Him."
(Lamentations 3:22-24)


The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
because the Lord has anointed Me to
preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to those who
are bound; to proclaim the acceptable
year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance
of our God; to comfort all who mourn,
to console those who mourn in Zion,
to give them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they may be called trees of
righteousness, the planting of the Lord,
that He may be glorified.
(Isaiah 61:1-3)


Come to Me, all you who labor and are

in heart and you will find rest for 
your souls.

sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells 
with you and will be in you. I will not leave 
you orphans; I will come to you.
(John 14:15-18)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts

fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort

dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
