2 Ne 8:12 I am he that comforteth you
¡°With many of you there is the gnawing
pain of bereavement and fear. To you the Lord has said, ¡®Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted¡¯
(Matt. 5:4).
¡°We know there are many days of loneliness and nights of longing. But there is also that which comes from Him who said, ¡®I, even I, am he that comforteth you¡¯ (Isa. 51:12).
¡°The Lord is your strength. He is available to you, and when invited, by His Spirit He will come to you¡¦
¡°You will find comfort and strength as you lose yourself in¡¦service. Your own troubles will be forgotten as you help others with theirs. Your burdens will become lighter as you lift the burdens of the downtrodden and the oppressed.¡± (Commentaries on Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, ed. by K.
