Why is it comforting to know that God knows our weaknesses?

God's knowledge of our weaknesses is one of the most comforting truths of the Christian faith. In Psalm 103:13-14, it states, 'Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.' This passage reassures believers that the Lord is not distant or unappreciative of our struggles; rather, He actively supports and guides us knowing our limitations. Jesus refers to His followers as little children, emphasizing their dependence on Him. In John 13:1, He loves His own and is aware of their fragility. This assurance brings comfort during trials, knowing that we are under His sovereign care and that He nurtures our faith as a shepherd does his sheep.
