God comforts us not only for our own sake, but so we can carry that comfort to others. Even through the darkest valley, His rod and staff are near, and He tends us as a mother tends her child.
A prayer
God of all comfort, wrap Your presence around me. Steady me through the valley, and make me a comfort to someone else.
