How do we know that God comforts us in our troubles?

Answered in 3 sources

God comforts us during our troubles as affirmed in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, which says He comforts us so we can in turn comfort others.

In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, the Apostle Paul speaks to the comforting character of God, stating, 'Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation.' This passage illustrates that God does not leave His people alone in their suffering. Rather, He provides comfort that enables believers to help others experiencing similar difficulties. This reciprocal comforting reflects the communal aspect of faith, where our experiences of divine comfort become instruments of grace for others. It affirms the promise that our tribulations, while difficult, serve a greater purpose in God’s kingdom of compassion and love.
