Psalms Of Comfort - Barbara Jurgensen - Bog

We all must cope with life's trials and tribulations -- and there's no greater source for the comfort and support we need than the book of Psalms. Not only can the Psalms help us make it through difficult times, but they can also help us become stronger in our faith and in our ability to face each new day and its problems.
Combining brief scripture excerpts with prayerful reflections, the uplifting meditations in Psalms of Comfort provide wisdom and sustenance for dealing with life's struggles. Whether you're facing serious illness, risky surgery, the death of a loved one, a faltering marriage, the betrayal of a friend you trusted, the wrongdoing of others (or yourself), or the stark reality of our eventual departure from this earth, Jesus reaches out his loving arms and says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Comforting words from the Psalms, with short prayers that translate comfort into hope. A useful resource in counseling and pastoral care.

I have been comforted, strengthened, and inspired by the writings of Barbara Jurgensen for more than thirty years. This collection will touch the hearts of all who love Jesus and who seek his presence in the midst of pain or distress. Psalms of Comfort is a divine gift to the poor in spirit, leading the anxious and the suffering into the love of God, where their wounds will find healing and their despair will turn to hope.
