When life is unbearably painful and our hearts break, our greatest comfort comes from our experience of God’s loving character. We discover that He cares deeply about our tragedies and struggles (Ps. 34:18); He notices every tear we shed (Ps. 56:8); and He understands our vulnerabilities (Ps. 103:13-18). He longs for the day we can live with Him in heaven and He will wipe away all our tears (Rev. 21:1-4). Karen Holford is qualified in occupational therapy, family therapy, and systemic psychotherapy. She is family ministries director for the Trans-European Division. Suggestions for Prayer: 1. Pray for God to help you see how He is lovingly guiding you to answers in His Word to your real-life questions. 2. Ask God to help you develop into His likeness as you focus on His love in the Word. 3. As you study His Word, pray that God will reveal His love to you, and shine His love through you into the lives of others. (Endnotes) * Ellen G.
