No Comforters in His Suffering
The psalmist cried out that scorn had broken his heart and no comforter could be found.
Psalm 69:20
Scorn has broken my heart and has left me helpless; I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found none.
Mark 14:34
"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."
The psalmist cried out that scorn had broken his heart and no comforter could be found. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus poured out His anguish to Peter, James, and John — yet they fell asleep while He suffered alone. The Messiah's deepest agony was met not with comfort but with the solitude foretold centuries earlier.
Jesus, thank You for bearing what I could never bear. Through this lesson, grow gratitude that changes how I live.
