God's Wonderful Promises - Comfort - Pursuing Intimacy With God

God’s Wonderful Promises – Comfort

In Part 1 of God’s Wonderful Promises we studied God’s perfect faithfulness. And how God’s promises are actually guarantees because of His perfect faithfulness.

In Part 2 we studied God’s wonderful promises for the gift of eternal life. And in Part 3 we studied God’s wonderful promises for forgiveness.

Then in Part 4 of God’s Wonderful Promises we studied some of the many promises about fear. Fear can paralyze a believer’s faith and inhibit your fellowship with God. And fear can prevent you from faithfully obeying and following God’s perfect will for your life.

Now we will continue to search God’s Word and find His promises about comfort. There will be some difficult times in our life when we need God’s comfort. Time when only God can truly bring comfort and peace in our heart. And He will never fail to do this.
