Get the appBigger Than UsSample
Paul called God “the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3). What a powerful reminder that comfort doesn’t come from our circumstances improving—it comes from God Himself. When life feels uncertain, painful, or overwhelming, He doesn’t just remove our struggles; He meets us in them. God doesn’t leave us or abandon us; He is there with us.
But God’s comfort is never meant to stop with us. Paul says we are comforted so that we can comfort others. The healing we receive becomes the help we give. Our scars can become sources of strength for someone else. This is how God redeems pain—by transforming it into purpose. So when you walk through hardship, don’t just ask, “God, when will this end?” Ask, “God, how can You use this?” Because the very place you’ve been comforted may become the very place God uses you to bring hope to another weary heart.
Of course, this can take time. Walking through pain isn’t always easy. But eventually you get to the other side and have a story to tell.
How have you experienced God’s comfort in a difficult season? Who in your life might need the same kind of comfort you’ve received?

About this Plan
The real challenge in life is not how well we start but how we stay faithful over time. In this devotional, we will journey with God’s people as they move from brokenness to renewal. We’ll meet a God who uses personal burdens, teamwork, perseverance through opposition, His Word, and lifelong faithfulness to accomplish His purposes. When the opposition feels too strong, there’s a bigger God who meets us in the middle of it all—a God who works in and through ordinary people.
