2Cor 1:3-7 3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort through Christ. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.  I believe in these words hold many keys.  In verse 6 can throw a monkey wrench into how many think. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation!  In verse 3  "God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort,"  Now this may trouble you, yet I ask you to hear me out.  We are told in verse 8 and 9 ...We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.  Let this be what we see more than anything else.  He Loves us So much, He will do what it takes to get us to this place.  In verse 10-11 10 And He did rescue us from mortal danger, and He will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in Him, and He will continue to rescue us. 11 And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.  It will always come down to this, His Love Works in many, many different ways, yet in this area one Result.  To bring us to this thinking, He will continue to rescue us, and we will being to see just how Powerful and Mighty are His Reasons and Thoughts.  Let it be that we are no longer shy to ask, to Pray, to ACCEPT ALL HE HAS FOR US.
