Father Filled With Compassion
When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Psalm 94:19
Our God is the “Father of compassion.” He knows who you are and where you are. He understands what you are going through. He sympathizes with you. He loves you deeply. And He is the “God of all comfort.” He comes to us with strength. He brings peace to our pain and calm to our chaos. As the psalmist declares, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy” (Psalm 94:19).
Such a relief to know when we talk to the Father He has a way of bringing us joy.
II Corinthians1:3-4 says ‘“Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father, the God from whom all help comes! He helps us in all our troubles, so that we are able to help others who have all kinds of troubles, using the same help that we ourselves have received from God.”
Prayer for today: God, I thank You for being the Father of compassion. Never looking down on me instead, You hold me and keep me in your arms. Amen.
