Oftentimes we find ourselves seeking comfort from worldly things. In times of grief, anxiety, hardships, or the unknown, it can be easy to look for instant relief, perhaps by binge-watching a favorite Netflix show or going online shopping. As Christians, we are given the gift of ultimate rest in the Lord. He is a living and moving God, who draws near when we call upon Him and provides us with complete comfort in our unsettledness.  

Use these Bible verses to find comfort in the Prince of Peace, knowing he is near, the greatest counselor and protector.  

John 16:33 NLT

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” 

Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” 

Psalms 55:22 NLT

Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT

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. 

Matthew 11:28-29 NLT

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” 

Psalm 23:4 NLT

“Even then I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.”  

Romans 8:38-39 NLT

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

Psalm 119:76 NLT

Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant.” 

Revelation 21:4 NLT

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” 

John 14:17-18 NLT

“He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.”
