Day 12 of 365

Close to the Brokenhearted

“The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”

Psalm 34:17-18 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

God doesn't stand at a distance when your heart breaks. He draws closer. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted. Not near to the people who have it all together. Not near to the ones who smile through everything. Near to the broken ones. If your heart is in pieces right now, know this: He is closer than He has ever been.

Try This Today

If you're hurting right now, give yourself permission to feel it fully for five minutes. Don't fix it, don't explain it, just feel it. Then whisper: "Lord, You are near to me right now." Sit in that truth.
