Up late in prayer tonight for a sister in Christ. Blessed be the Father of and God of all comfort 2 Cor 1:3 Thomas Moore(1779-1852) was an Irish songwriter, singer, and poet. His talents brought joy to many who ever saw him perform or who sang his music. Yet, tragically, his personal life was troubled by repeated heartaches, including the death of all five of his children during his lifetime. Moores personal wounds makes these words of his more meaningful: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish: earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. This moving statement reminds us that meeting with God in prayer can bring healing to our troubled soul. The apostle Paul also saw how our heavenly Father can provide solace to the hurting heart. To the believers at Corinth he wrote: Blessed be the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation.(2Cor 1:3-4) Sometimes, though, we can be so preoccupied with our inner sorrow that we isolate ourselves from the one who can offer consolation. We need to be reminded that Gods comfort and healing come through prayer. As we confide in our Father, we can experiance peace the begining of healing for our wounded hearts. For truly earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to his rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, There I find comfort, and there I am blessed. Prayer is the soil in which hope and healing grow best. Have a blessed day to all who read this. If you get a chance read 2nd corinthians 1: 1-10 and be blessed. Have a Jesus day
