Our Comforter In Every Crisis

Kids had been home from school for just a few days and the whole country was reeling, trying to comprehend and adjust to a new normal. 

Trying to navigate that crisis as a blogger was… interesting.

But here’s where we landed…

Our Comforter In Every Crisis

Candidly Christian exists to point women to Jesus, so we are focusing on the Comforter rather than the crisis.

No matter the question, the answer is always the same: Jesus. He has always has been, is, and always will be the reason for the hope and peace that is in us.

There’s always a crisis somewhere. The main difference now is that the entire world is experiencing the same crisis at the same time. 

Jesus’ peace – the Holy Spirit, lives inside us no matter what is going on around us. So our peace is determined by our dependence on our Comforter.

Yes, Jesus calls on us to comfort each other as we walk through trials together. Heather and I are grateful for the encouragement offered in other posts, but we believe Jesus is calling us to offer a respite of normalcy. 

Please know that we are praying for the health and safety of our readers and their loved ones. If you’d like to join us in prayer, please consider joining our Prayer Team.

I’d also like to offer three scriptures and a song to help you focus on Jesus our Comforter. There is power in His Word and in praise, so I invite you to speak and sing with Heather and me.

3 Scriptures to Pray to Our Comforter

And I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

John 14:16-18 KJV

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 14:26 KJV

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 15:26 KJV

We really would love to hear from you. How are you holding up? Do you need prayer?

We believe in being candid, and this is just one of the struggles we will face as Christian women. To be honest, Heather says it’s like the different verse of the same song we’ve been dancing to all along. Life is hard, but God is good.

You might be anxious or overwhelmed. You may have just realized that you are a lot lazier than you thought. Or that you are a Mary in a world full of Martha’s.

Maybe you need to learn to fight fear with prayer or overcome insecurities you’ve suddenly found yourself face-to-face with with no way out. Perhaps you want to use this time to cultivate gratitude in your life or the excess time with your family has shown you that you need to work on forgiveness.

You may be struggling to hear God’s voice through all the crazy. The truth is, none of these things are limited by the current circumstances. Yet God is still the answer when the circumstances bring them to the forefront.

So, wherever today finds you, know that you aren’t struggling alone.
