Comforter

I've decided for the first part of my little adventure I want to learn about Christ as a comforter.  I've got a big white board in my room with my schedule and different goals and things to remember written on it.  A large section is dedicated to my focus for this blog thing.  Right now it says,

"COMFORTER: 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

I chose this one because I've been kind of anxious lately about a lot of things.  I feel anxious about not having school to go to when I really like school.  My job is ending soon.  Dating is lame sauce (and it just gets lamer... as cool as that word is).  I'm stressed about grad school, friends, lack of friends, too many "friends", growing up... Everything.

I wrote about it elsewhere, but the song "Be Still My Soul" has brought me a lot of comfort because I know the Lord is on my side and will help me.  He loves me and cares, and He is still in control.  I love that the atonement gave him the ability to comfort me in a way that no one else can.

So, for the next little while, I'd really love it if you guys shared your thoughts on Jesus Christ being a comforter.  I'll be sharing more as I go along, but I'm anxious (in a good way ;) ) to hear your thoughts, experiences, and insights.
