One of my favorite Bible verses about comfort is, “Let your constant love comfort me, as you have promised me, your servant.” (Psalm 119:76)

Sometimes when we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, we find ourselves in need of comfort.

We aren’t always able to change our circumstances – we just need some encouraging reminders that we are not alone as we move forward in life. That’s where God comes in, and these Bible verses about comfort and encouragement.

Comfort in the Tough Times

We have the Lord’s promises to cling to. We know that He will never leave us or forsake us. We know that He will bring us to the mountain top and soothe our aching wounds. We also know that anything we experience here on earth is just temporary.

Whenever I feel myself on the verge of depression or anxiety I turn to my daily affirmations and remember who I am in the Lord. That alone – the immense change in identity that comes as a Christian brings me comfort and joy. My old man is no longer in control because I am a new creation in Christ. Hallelujah!

I also have to remember that I do not have to walk in confusion or fear. God’s peace is powerful and beyond our limited comprehension. But He is in control and able to strength, carry, and help me, as these Bible verses about comfort remind us.

The final reminder I want to highlight in these Bible verses about comfort is that we are living a temporary life here on earth. We are given the chance to follow God in an abundant, faith-filled life now. And then we are raised in eternal life with Him later. Forever. The reminder that any mourning and pain is just for a season comforts me.

It is, as always, my prayer that you will experience God’s peace, joy, and encouragement in these Bible verses about comfort.
