What does the Bible say about God's comfort for troubled believers?

In 2 Corinthians 7:5-6, the Apostle Paul expresses that even in great distress and opposition, God comforted him and his companions. This assurance is crucial for believers as it emphasizes that God has not abandoned us in our trials. Instead, He provides comfort through His presence and through the support of fellow believers, just as Paul was comforted by the coming of Titus. The promise that God will not lay on us more than we can bear shows His intimate knowledge of our struggles and His readiness to provide His grace, which is truly sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9).
