"I am glad to trust the Lord when it will cost me something." These are the words of Horatio G. Spafford, author of It Is Well With My Soul. There was indeed a cost to him, particularly in the loss of his children to a tragedy at sea. Despite his difficulties and setbacks, he removed steadfast in his faith. His trust in the Lord is inspirational to us and produced this moving and comforting hymn. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." II Cor. 1:3,4 (NIV).
