What does the Bible say about finding comfort in trials?

In times of trials and sorrows, the Bible teaches that true comfort comes not from worldly wisdom or human counsel, but from Christ alone. Job's lament highlights the inadequacy of his friends' words, labeling them as 'miserable comforters.' In Job 16:2, he expresses that despite their intentions, their words only deepened his distress. Instead, Job ultimately turns to God for comfort, knowledge, and strength, realizing that Christ is his sole source of hope and solace in difficult times.
