“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Reflection on Today’s Verse
There are moments in life when heartbreak, pain, and loss feel unbearable. In those times, it can seem like God is distant, but this verse reassures us that He is near to the brokenhearted.
When our hearts ache, God does not turn away—He draws even closer. He sees our pain, understands our sorrows, and offers comfort and healing. If you feel crushed by life’s burdens today, remember that God is right there with you. He is holding you, strengthening you, and working in ways you may not yet see.
Personal Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being close to me in times of sorrow. When I feel broken and weary, remind me that You are near. Heal my heart, strengthen my spirit, and fill me with Your peace. Help me trust that You are always with me, even in the hardest moments. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
