I finished with the Book of Ezekiel yesterday and in my morning prayers I sensed I was to jump over to 2 Corinthians again for another look at what the apostle might have to say to me.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. ⁵ For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. ⁶ If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. ⁷ And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:3-9

Your comfort and your suffering are not just yours. Both benefit others. So who does your comfort benefit besides you? Who are you suffering for besides yourself? Who else benefits?
