WHEN YOU NEED COMFORTING ~ Precious Victor Akah

Sometimes, we encounter overwhelming situations and feel isolated in our challenges —friends, family, or even our spouses or someone closest to us may not fully understand what we’re experiencing. In these moments, we long for someone who can truly empathize and offer the comfort we desperately need.

As a young unmarried woman, you might find yourself tempted to seek solace with a caring male friend, or you might encounter someone who seems to offer the love and attention you crave. Therefore, it's essential to be cautious, as this could lead you down a path you hadn’t intended.

Similarly, young men may find themselves drawn to a woman who seems to provide comfort during tough times, potentially leading to temptations of immorality.

Even married individuals can face unexpected temptations. A caring younger man or even another married man might enter the picture, and if you’re not vigilant, you could find yourself entangled in a situation that jeopardizes your marital commitment.

What we must remember is that Jesus promised to send us a COMFORTER in the Person of the HOLY SPIRIT when He departed from this earth. If you are born again, the Holy Spirit resides within you, providing you with the comfort you seek. So, there's no need to look outside.

No matter what you’re facing, look to the Holy Spirit for solace. Allow Him to be your source of true comfort, free from any negative consequences. 

Take your concerns to the Holy Spirit. Speak to Him openly and sincerely about what’s troubling you, and ask for His assistance. If it’s comfort you need, don’t hesitate to ask for it.

There is no issue too great for the Holy Spirit. He knows your situation even before you voice it, but He desires for you to acknowledge His presence and seek His help. He will respond willingly.

When the Holy Spirit comforts you, you will experience genuine relief. He can dispel the feelings of discomfort that weigh you down.

Remember, you are not meant to carry your burdens alone. Even if no one else understands, the Holy Spirit does and is always ready to assist.

Don’t delay in reaching out to the Holy Spirit; procrastination may provide the enemy an opportunity to ensnare you.

Speak to the Holy Spirit today—don’t wait.

P.S: If you haven’t yet accepted Jesus into your life and repented of your sins, that’s the first step to receiving the Holy Spirit. Once you do, you can share your burdens with Him, and He will be there to help and comfort you.
