2 Cor 1:3-4 3 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 affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. (ESV)
What happen to us is not more important than how we perceive what happen to us.
Why the Father of mercies and not the Father of love is used in this verse?
Since the fall of man, we don't deserve any good things from God. Yes, we face troubles in life, but the trouble actually could have been worse. In his mercy, he only allows trouble that we can bear. God, by his mercy, didn't repay us what our sins deserve.
With this understanding, we can be comforted by God when we go through troubles. For His mercy is sufficient for us!
