In times of suffering, God's presence and comfort are assured to those facing terminal illness. The Bible teaches that He is near to the brokenhearted, as seen in Deuteronomy and Isaiah, where believers are encouraged to be strong and courageous, and not to fear. Through trials, God works to bring comfort and hope, as expressed in 2 Corinthians, and believers are called to rejoice in hope, as written in Romans. Ultimately, the promise of Revelation brings solace, as it declares that God will one day wipe away every tear, and there will be no more suffering or pain.
