Who Do You Cry Out To?


Just Who is this God waiting to heal us?

I am your Provider:  “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”  (Philippians 4, NIV)

I am your Protector:  “While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me.”  (John17, NIV)

I am your Joy:  “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”  (John 15, NIV)

I am your Strength:  “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4, NIV)

I am your Peace:  “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”  (John 14, NIV)

I am your Hope:  “But now, Lord, what do I look for?  My hope is in you.”

I am your Savior:  “But our citizenship is in heaven.  And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”  (Philippians 3, NIV)

I am your BFF:  “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”  (John 15, NIV)

Now put in the name you need most now!   I am Your__________________________________________


If you think about all these attributes, you'll be on the road to comfort!  You will have no fear of crying out to such a Person as this!  How about you?  As you begin Comfort.Guide what is your impression of God: good/bad, feeling/unfeeling, harsh/kind, near/distant.....?

At the end of various readings in Comfort.Guide, we will have a "Pause", "Reflect" and "Receive" section.  The purpose of this exercise is to help you better understand and to personally absorb the encouragement Comfort.Guide offers.


PAUSE … Invite Him to be with you; let Him quiet you with His Love.


REFLECT … What is God saying to you?

* What Scripture above touches your heart the most? 

* What Scripture fills your heart's cry for comfort? 



RECEIVE … Think of all the "I am" descriptive words above.  Let each and every word begin to take root deep in you!



PROMISES ..... short Scriptures to build you up and give you hope!

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed, says the Lord who has compassion on you."

(Isaiah 54, NIV)
