COMFORT FROM GOD’S WORD HIS PROMISES He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. (Romans 91: 1-2) They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. (Psalm 125:1) OUR ATTITUDE IN AFFLICTION Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. (Psalm 23:4) Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. (Psalm 42:11) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help (Psalm 121:1) OUR ATTITUDE TO OTHERS Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

God gives life He takes it away He is the Potter and I am the clay When I view the last sunset and cross over sea I know the sunrise will be waiting for me Oh what a sunrise it’s going to be Death will lose its sting, and the grave it’s victory The silence will be broken, and the storm clouds rolled away I hear the saints of angels singing On our homecoming day Time will come for the last goodbye There’s a smile though tears dim the eye Death will take us, but only to sleep In the arms of our Saviour so sweet
