Blessed in the Storm

[God] comforts us in all our trouble so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. (2 Cor. 1:4)

Thoughts: We are comforted to comfort.  It is possible to be blessed in the midst of suffering and storm.  In fact, often God speaks to us in the middle of the tough times.  When God comforts us, we should remember that and seek to comfort others.  When we have been helped we should remind others of the help that they can have as well.  We are blessed in the midst of suffering so that we may bless others.  Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted."  God does bless us with His comfort in the midst of the storms

Prayer: Lord, give me the heart to feel your comfort when you give it.  Give me the grace to pass your comfort and help on to others- reminding them where they can go to find grace.
