I sometimes have trouble even fathoming the greatness, the power and majesty of God. How can God be all things at all times and yet, when I pray for help, He can hear me and respond to my prayers? Isn't he working on more important things than me?
Because Jesus came to earth to live as one of us; to eat, drink, breath, laugh, cry, suffer and die...He is with us when we are being tested and knows the pain we can feel from time to time. He is a great comforter because he has known the same testing and suffering we experience from time to time. It can be hard to accept comfort from someone who cannot empathize with our situation because they have never or will likely never experience it. But Jesus did...and He can.
So, when you pray for comfort, for healing, for peace, pray knowing that the One who will answer your prayer has known the same pain you are feeling. He can sit beside you, wrap His arms around you and give you peace.

Hebrews 2:11-18
"Because He Himself was tested by what He suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested."
