“Let us consider one another . . . , encouraging one another” - Hebrews 10:24, 25

"Jehovah builds up his worshippers by reassuring them of his unfailing love. How encouraging it must have been for faithful Israelites to hear Jehovah’s words: “You became precious in my eyes, you were honored, and I have loved you. . . . Do not be afraid, for I am with you”! (Isa. 43:4, 5) As one of Jehovah’s servants, you can be sure that Jehovah loves you most tenderly.* God’s Word promises concerning those pursuing pure worship: “As a mighty One, he will save. He will exult over you with great joy.”​—Zeph. 3:16, 17" - w18 9/15 p. 13 par 6

• “Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Ps. 34:18, 19
• “When anxieties overwhelmed me, you [Jehovah] comforted and soothed me.” — Ps. 94:19.

"As a study note on this verse explains, Paul uses the expression “tender mercies” to describe a feeling of compassion for others. Thus, “God is called the Father, or the Source, of tender mercies because compassion emanates from him.” And that compassion moves him to comfort “us in all our trials.” (2 Cor. 1:4) " w23 11/15 #47 par 10

"Even if my own father and mother abandon me, Jehovah himself will take me in”

PSALMS 34:18

2 CORINTHIANS 1:3, 4
The Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God

ROMANS 15:5
The God who supplies endurance and comfort


ISAIAH 51:12“I myself am the One comforting you. Why should you be afraid of a mortal man who will die and of a son of man who will wither like green grass?

2 THESSELONIANS 2: 16, 17
Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm"



Other scriptures that many have found comforting are: Isa. 51:12; Ps. 119:50, 52, 76; Psalm 20:1, 2; 31:7; 38:8, 9, 15; 55:22; 121:1, 2; Isaiah 57:15; 66:13; Philippians 4:13; and 1 Peter 5:7.

Comfort From the Scriptures
wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2019400#h=58


What scriptures have been especially comforting to survivors of sexual abuse? A great many could be listed, but these are just a few that offer comfort. Below each Scripture citation is either a comment or a quotation showing how the verses may be applied in a helpful way.

JOB 34:22-28 In some cases, abusers may seem to get away with their wicked deeds. But they cannot hide from Jehovah, who hears the cries of their victims. Trusting in Jehovah’s justice can help us find peace.

PSALMS 62:8
“As that verse encourages, I poured out my heart before Jehovah, and I begged him for comfort and for a sound heart and mind. Through constant prayer to Jehovah, I gradually found real comfort and peace of mind.”​—An elder who was sexually abused when he was about nine.​—See also Psalm 56:8-13

ISAIAH 41:10, 13 These verses paint a comforting picture of Jehovah as a loving, protective Father who helps his servants during hard times. God’s people around the world have experienced the truthfulness of those words, including in the wake of abuse.

ISAIAH 32:1, 2 “I turned to the elders for help. They sat down with me on several occasions and took their time talking to me. They showed personal interest and listened carefully. They prayed with me and for me.”​—A Christian sister who was molested at about age six.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4, 7 Keep those verses in mind when listening to someone disclose past abuse. Avoid expressions of disbelief or skepticism. Many abusers tell children that if they report the abuse, no one will believe them. Some children grow up thinking that. So focus instead on the very real pain of your fellow Christian, and offer what comfort you can.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4, 5 Sexual abuse can teach young ones to believe lies, but God’s inspired Word can overturn even the most entrenched of satanic lies.

1 JOHN 3:19, 20When our heart condemns us unfairly, we must remember that Jehovah “is greater than our hearts and knows all things.” His Word can reassure us of this truth: We are precious in God’s eyes.

See chapter 24 of the book Draw Close to Jehovah.

"If only my anguish could be fully weighed... For now it is heavier than the sands of the seas.
That is why my words have been wild talk " - Job 6:2, 3

“A time to be silent and a time to speak.” (Eccl. 3:7) Another way to comfort a grieving fellow Christian is simply to be a good listener. Allow your brother to pour out his heart, and do not be offended by “wild talk.” (Job 6:2, 3) He may be under added emotional stress because of pressure from relatives who are not Witnesses. So pray with him. Beg the “Hearer of prayer” to give him strength and clarity of mind. (Ps. 65:2) If circumstances permit, read the Bible together. Or read an appropriate article from our publications, such as an encouraging life story w19 4/15 p.19 par 19.
