With deepest sympathy, may it comfort you to know that many are thinking of you during this trying time. You may ask, ‘How does God comfort us and give us the courage to bear our pain?’ He does so mainly through his Word, the Bible, and through the gift of prayer. Paul tells us that God lovingly gives us His Word so that “through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.� Additionally, through heartfelt prayers, we can come to experience “the peace of God that excels all thought.�—Romans 15:4; Philippians 4:7. What wonderful gifts Jehovah God has given us.
