The suffering we see around us today can make a person feel like there is nothing they can do to help, because frankly, they feel that the amount of suffering is overwhelming. But draw near to the Lord today in all your afflictions and pray for the afflicted. Joy and love reside in the presence of the Lord. You can feel loved and joyful today and you can share that same love and joy simply by knowing that Comfort and compassion can be found in him. 

Isaiah 49:13New International Version (NIV)
13 Shout for joy, you heavens;rejoice, you earth;    burst into song, you mountains!For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
