Day 48

2 Corinthians 1:3-7

All praise to God, the Father of our 

Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful 

Father and the source of all comfort.

He comforts us in all our troubles so 

that we can comfort others. When 

they are troubled, we will be able 

to give them the same comfort God 

has given us. For the more we suffer 

for Christ, the more God will shower 

us with his comfort through Christ. 

Even when we are weighed down with 

troubles, it is for your comfort and 

salvation! For when we ourselves are 

comforted, we will certainly comfort you. 

Then you can patiently endure the 

same things we suffer. We are confident 

that as you share in our sufferings, 

you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
