Who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
II Corinthians 1:4
God reminds us that we can always find good reasons to thank Him. When we are afflicted in any way, we know that our God of all comfort will be there help us. At the same time, the combination of affliction and comfort gives us the ability to help those who are troubled but don't know God. Let's not just complain when we are afflicted, but think of it as a training session for lifting up ourselves and others in the future. Let's think of God, and think of others. It will take our mind off ourselves.
