PJP2 SIP 160301 - 2 Corinthians 1:2-7 (ESV/emphasis & paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, we Thank You for Your Love, Mercy and Forgiveness.  May Your Grace and Peace, O God our Heavenly Father and Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ Continue to Shower Down Upon us.  Hear us, O Family of Believers, Join us as we Say: "Blessed Be The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."  O Father God, You Are The Father of All Mercies.  Holy Spirit, we Thank You that You Provide us, O God of All Comfort, Your Comforts of Peace and Presence to us in All our affliction.  Lord Jesus, Help us That we May Be Able To Comfort those who are in any affliction, With The Comfort With Which we ourselves Are Comforted By You, O Lord our God.  Holy Spirit, Open our Inner-Eyes that we May See and Understand that As we Share Abundantly in our Lord Jesus Christ's Own Sufferings, So Through You, O Lord Jesus Christ we too Share Abundantly In Your Comfort as well.  Father God, If and When we Are Afflicted, we Know That Ultimately It Is For Your Provision of Comfort And Salvation to us; And If and When we Are Comforted, Clearly It Is Your Comfort, which we Experience When You Help us Patiently Endure these Same Sufferings That we Suffer.  O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Strengthen and Encourage us so the our HOPE For You Remains Unshaken.  Lord Jesus, By Your Example Among us, we Know That As we Share in these Sufferings, we Will, By Your Grace, Also Share In Your Comfort.  In Your Precious and Holy Name we Pray....Amen/Amen....jaj
