Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
My prayers go out to those who have lost loved ones to cancer or have loved ones suffering from it right now. I pray that God will comfort them and give me the words to comfort them as well. The Psalms are full of passages that remind us of His comfort and care of those who love Him. And we can also take comfort in knowing that God will not give us more than we can handle.
In Isaiah 53:4 and also in Matthew 8:17, it says, "He Himself took our infirmaties and bore our sicknesses." One day, we won't have to endure them because of Christ's death on the cross.
And in this verse, we can truly rejoice, "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4

This verse really helped me when my mom died, and I write it on almost every sympathy card I send anymore. His love to our family during that hard time has given me many opportunities to tell others of His goodness and love, so I love how the verse speaks of using those experiences to comfort others.
