In the process of Biblegatewaying (is that a word?) my last passage, I ended up coming across tons of other passages on comfort. I thought I would compile my favorites and share. Why? Because reading these did indeed bring me comfort and I hope they comfort you too, in whatever your need is. These are all NIV (New International Version).

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Jeremiah 31:15
This is what the Lord says: "A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because her children are no more."

Luke 16:25
"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.'
John 14:1 (Jesus Comforts the Disciples)
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me."
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just at the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
There...now I have all of these words compiled here to remind me that God does comfort and He does care!
