The Great Comforter

Psalm 42:3
My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

Sometimes the most intimate and authentic prayers are not formed in words but in the language of tears. The Lord knows the prayers that come from a place of great depth from within us.

He is our lighthouse when we are lost at sea. Just like Peter when he began to sink in the water, the Lord rescued him from his storm and pulled him back into the safe place of his boat.


1 Samuel 1:10
Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the LORD.

The Lord heard Hannah in her anguish. He heard and understood her tears as her purest form of prayer in that very juncture.

There will be moments in this life when we feel alone, broken, lost and crushed. But the Lord promises us, he is near the broken-hearted. He will never leave you or abandon you.

Hold onto his promises. Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
