Comfort - Today's Daily Word

The ever-present spirit of God infuses me with peace and love.

Thoughts of comfort engage my senses as warm, reassuring images come to mind: hearty, simmering soup; a soft comforter on a chilly night; a peaceful pet curled in my lap; one-to-one conversation with a dear one.

The greatest comfort of all, however, is the comfort of ever-present Spirit. Even when there appear to be no answers, God is here. I breathe deeply and pray, allowing the peace and love that are present to infuse my very being. I am reassured spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Caring and peace surround me, confirming that I am supported and loved.

And I never have to pray alone. I can reach out with a phone call and be blessed by the familiar greeting: "Silent Unity. How may we pray with you?"

"Praise the Lord! ... He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:1, 3
