Jehovah is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?—Heb. 13:6.

 

That firm confidence in Jehovah’s loving care helped Paul to grapple with life’s problems. He did not allow negative circumstances to weigh him down. What gave him the strength to do so? He kept leaning on “the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials.” (2 Cor. 1:3, 4) Communication through prayer is the foundation of a close relationship with God. (Ps. 86:3; 1 Thess. 5:17; Rom. 12:12) When we take sufficient time to express to Jehovah our deepest thoughts and innermost feelings, we cannot help but be drawn closer to our heavenly Father, the “Hearer of prayer.” (Ps. 65:2) In addition, when we discern that Jehovah answers our prayers, our love for him grows. We come to realize ever more that “Jehovah is near to all those calling on him.” (Ps. 145:18) That confidence in Jehovah’s loving support will help us to cope with further tests of faith. w17.05 19 ¶9-10

My wife is scheduled for minor surgery tomorrow, this seems to be appropriate

Hoping all goes well for her....😊

Some translations use the word encourage instead of the word comfort.


Did a small research and found why the word comfort is the best word here.

You been snapping at her?

 

Seriously - send her my love and get well wishes. If we lived closer I'd visit her.

She'll be under the protective wings of God the Almighty. And that's more than enough reason for confidence, you know!
