How then can we find solace and support amidst these trying circumstances, enabling us to persevere through life’s storms? Take a moment to explore the following 10 messages of comfort designed for difficult times. They are here to offer you help.

1. “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).

This passage conveys the importance of waiting, perseverance, and trust. Life brings various challenges and difficulties, yet this scripture serves as a reminder that, no matter what we face, our guiding principle is to patiently await the Lord. Waiting on the Lord isn’t a passive act but an active expression of faith. In the face of life’s uncertainties, we are called to face them with steadfast confidence because we are not alone. We believe in Almighty God who controls everything and is ever-present with us. Therefore, when challenges and hardships arise in life, may we find strength in waiting and maintain unwavering faith, as we believe and wait for an unchanging God.

2. The Lord Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

This passage guides us on how to get through the hardships of life and find inner peace in the Lord. Throughout life’s journey, we often encounter various challenges and hardships that make us feel anxious and helpless. However, Jesus has given us a promise that we can find peace in Him. When we firmly ground our faith in God’s words, even amidst life’s storms, we can experience His power and comfort that surpass everything. The Lord also reminds us to rest assured because He has triumphed over the world and conquered sin, death, and all the injustices of the world. When faced with the hardships and challenges of the world, there is no need to fear, because the Lord has already paved the way ahead, prepared for each step of our journey. Let us turn to God, finding peace in Him, for His word is the comfort and guidance for our souls, and His victory is the assurance of our faith, enabling us to stand firm and confident amidst life’s storms.

3. “Fear you not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).

This is the Creator’s affectionate call to each of us, the most precious comfort, and God’s steadfast promise to us. When our hearts are immersed in endless anxiety amid the storms of life, this scripture is like a guiding light illuminating our path. God being with us is not just a comfort but an infinite source of strength. His companionship enables us to stand firm in the storms and find direction in the twists of life. In our weakness, God’s mighty power becomes the source of strength, helping us overcome all challenges.

Therefore, let’s always remember this phrase on the journey of faith, for God’s word is our pillar, and His presence is our strength. May we deeply grasp God’s love and steadfast promise amid the storms of life, allowing them to guide our life’s journey.

4. “The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9).

In the twists and turns of life, when we feel surrounded by oppression and difficulties, this scripture reminds us that God is our strong refuge, a place where we can find comfort and strength. It’s not just a comforting thought; it’s a protection from the Most High. God doesn’t ignore our suffering; instead, He builds an indestructible refuge for us in times of trouble, allowing us to stand on solid ground and overcome life’s challenges. Hardships aren’t the end of life but rather a test of our faith. The refuge God constructs for the oppressed not only shelters us in adversity but also serves as the sturdy foundation of our faith. Standing on this refuge, we can face difficulties without being troubled because God is our shield, our eternal source of support and help.

5. The Lord Jesus said, “Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

In the thoughtful and comforting words of the Lord Jesus, we hear the call of God’s love. It is a merciful and sincere invitation, an expression of boundless care. Living in this unforgiving world, we often face various challenges, pressures, and hardships, burdened as if by heavy loads that leave us breathless. God knows the pain and helplessness of our existence, but He does not ignore us. On the contrary, He stands by us, inviting us to come into His presence, to entrust our weary bodies and minds to Him, to accept His selfless provision and the embrace of His love. In His warm embrace, our pain finds healing, and our souls find peace. As God says, “Humanity, having strayed from the Almighty’s provision of life, is ignorant of the purpose of existence, but fears death nonetheless. They are without help or support, yet still reluctant to close their eyes, and they steel themselves to drag out an ignoble existence in this world, sacks of flesh with no sense of their own souls. You live in this way, without hope, as do others, without aim. Only the Holy One of legend will save the people who, moaning in the midst of their suffering, long desperately for His arrival. So far, such belief has not been realized in those who lack consciousness. Nevertheless, the people still yearn for it so. The Almighty has mercy on these people who have suffered deeply; at the same time, He is fed up with these people who lack consciousness, as He has had to wait too long for an answer from humanity. He wishes to seek, to seek your heart and your spirit, to bring you water and food and to awaken you, that you may no longer be thirsty and hungry. When you are weary and when you begin to feel something of the bleak desolation of this world, do not be lost, do not cry. Almighty God, the Watcher, will embrace your arrival at any time. He is keeping watch by your side, waiting for you to turn back around. He is waiting for the day you suddenly recover your memory: when you realize that you came from God, that, at some unknown time you lost your direction, at some unknown time you lost consciousness on the road, and at some unknown time acquired a ‘father’; when you realize, furthermore, that the Almighty has always been keeping watch, waiting there a very, very long time for your return. He has been watching with desperate longing, waiting for a response without an answer. His watching and waiting are beyond any price, and they are for the sake of the human heart and the human spirit. Perhaps this watching and waiting are indefinite, and perhaps they are at an end. But you should know exactly where your heart and your spirit are right now” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. The Sighing of the Almighty).

From the words of God, we feel His selfless love and concern for us. In reality, all our burdens and pain result from distancing ourselves from God’s provision and salvation. Only God knows the pain and helplessness within us; only God grieves for our ignorance, numbness, and lostness. He has been silently waiting by our side, longing for us to return to His embrace, to accept His provision and salvation. Only then can we gradually overcome the pain and find true peace for our souls.

6. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

This passage beautifully portrays God’s endless care and offers a promise for us to rely on in times of trouble. In life’s journey, we often face various storms that leave us weary and feeling powerless. However, in these adversities, we must remember that God is our strongest support, a refuge where we can find protection. Whenever and wherever we feel tired and helpless, God’s embrace becomes our place of rest, a harbor where our souls find peace. We can entrust everything to God. He is not only our shelter and the source of our strength but also our constant reliance and help in times of trouble. God says, “Be quiet within Me, for I am your God, your only Redeemer. You must quiet your hearts at all times and live within Me; I am your rock, your buttress. Have no other mind, but rely on Me with your whole heart and I will certainly appear to you—I am your God!” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Utterances of Christ in the Beginning, Chapter 26).

May we strengthen our faith in God’s words, always remembering that He is our refuge and strength in times of trouble, our eternal reliance. In God’s words, we will find peace and comfort, discover the strength to overcome challenges and courageously move forward on life’s journey.

7. “Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength” (Isaiah 26:4).

This verse extends a heartfelt call and expresses a resolute commitment to faith. Throughout life’s journey, we frequently encounter storms and trials. However, this scripture serves as a reminder that God is our everlasting rock, a steadfast pillar upon which we can always depend. When we place our complete trust in God, it’s akin to standing on an indestructible rock, so we can find a stable foothold and discover the direction of life, enabling us to stand firm in the midst of the storms.

During these unsettled times, let us truly lean on God, take our stand on His everlasting rock, and discover genuine stability and peace to navigate through life’s storms. As God says, “It is very simple now: Look upon Me with your heart, and your spirit will immediately grow strong. You will have a path to practice, and I will guide your every step. My word shall be revealed to you at all times and in all places. No matter where or when, or how adverse the environment is, I will make you see clearly, and My heart shall be revealed to you if you look to Me with yours; in this manner, you will run down the road ahead and never lose your way” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Utterances of Christ in the Beginning, Chapter 13).

8. The Lord Jesus said, “Watch you therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Luke 21:36).

The statement from Lord Jesus serves as a warning and encouragement, urging us to be always alert, maintain a consistent prayer life, and be prepared for His second coming, especially in the midst of the great tribulations of the end times. With the escalating magnitude of disasters, the prophecies about the Lord’s return have been fulfilled. In this critical moment of welcoming the Lord’s arrival, how can we stay vigilant and ready to welcome Him? The Lord Jesus said “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6). “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Matthew 3:20). From these scriptures, it is evident that when the Lord returns in the last days, He will speak and knock at people’s doors through His words. Being watchful and waiting is crucial in the final phase of the end times. When we hear someone proclaiming, “Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him,” which is to say, when we hear someone preaching that the Lord has returned and has expressed many truths, we should actively seek to investigate and listen to the words of the returned Lord. Once we recognize God’s voice through these words, we should accept and obey. This is how wise virgins welcome the Lord and attend the feast with Him. This is what those who stay alert and wait should aim for, so that they can welcome the Lord and have the chance to receive God’s salvation during the great tribulations of the end times. God says, “Wherever God appears, there the truth is expressed, and there the voice of God will be. Only those who can accept the truth will be able to hear the voice of God, and only such people are qualified to witness the appearance of God. … So let us seek God’s will and discover His appearance in His utterances, and keep pace with His footsteps! God is the truth, the way, and the life. His words and His appearance exist concurrently, and His disposition and footprints are open to mankind at all times. Dear brothers and sisters, I hope that you can see the appearance of God in these words, begin following His footsteps as you stride forward into a new age, and enter into the beautiful new heaven and earth that God has prepared for those who await His appearance!” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Appendix 4: Beholding the Appearance of God in His Judgment and Chastisement).
