Jehovah God Provides Comfort in All Our Trials

"The God of all comfort . . . comforts us in all our trials."-2 CORINTHIANS 1:3, 4.

A YOUNG single brother had been thinking about 1 Corinthians 7:28, which says that those who marry "will have tribulation in their flesh."  The brother spoke  to an older married elder and asked him:  "What is this tribulation,' and how  would I deal with it if I marry?"  Before answering the question, the elder  told the young brother to think about something else that the apostle Paul wrote:  Jehovah is "the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials,' or tribulations. -2 Corinthians 1:3, 4. 

We know that Jehovah, our Father, loves us, and he comforts us when we have difficulties.  You may remember certain times when Jehovah supported and guided you by means of his Word. We can be sure that he wants the best for us, as he did for his servants in the past. -Read Jeremiah 29:11, 12. 

Usually, it is easier to endure problems and tribulations when we know what has caused them. So why might we have tribulation in our marriage of in our family? And what examples from Bible times and from our time can help us find the comfort we need? Let us answer these questions and see how we can endure trials.
