What does the Bible say about comfort?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that God lovingly comforts His people in sorrow, weakness, fear, and affliction, drawing them to Himself and sustaining them by His grace. He is the Father of mercies who comforts believers so they may comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Even in the darkest valley, the Lord’s presence, protection, and shepherding care give courage (Psalms 23:4). Christ invites the weary and burdened to find rest in Him (Matthew 11:28-30), while the Holy Spirit helps believers in weakness and God works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:26-28). This comfort does not deny grief, but assures the brokenhearted that God is near and faithful.
