“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV)
Reflection on Today’s Verse
Life can be overwhelming at times, and in those moments, we may feel alone in our struggles. But today’s verse assures us that God is near to those who are hurting. When we cry out to Him, He listens and brings deliverance.
God doesn’t promise a life free from pain, but He does promise His presence, comfort, and salvation. If you are feeling broken or discouraged today, remember that God is close to you. He sees your pain, hears your prayers, and will lift you up.
Personal Prayer
