2 Corinthians 1:3,4

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 

Our attitude will determine our outcome.  When God comforts us as we go through our tribulation, our beliefs will turn to hope. Hope helps us see a future and a way through what we are going through.  In turn, we will then be able to speak hope into other people’s lives. We are meant to comfort and lift each other up other during adversity.  We are meant to be a messenger and share the message of hope.
