"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." -Psalm 34:18 (ESV)
There are many reasons that our hearts break. Reasons for our hearts breaking may include loss, sympathy, pity, or feelings of helplessness. My daughter realizes that the loss of a loved one can cause sadness and a broken heart. As my family has experienced loss, my daughter has offered to comfort us by giving hugs and rubbing our backs when we are sad. She also realizes that she may be sad and in need of a hug or cuddles.
There are and will be those times in our lives when we experience a broken heart. Those times are never easy and we may feel crushed or defeated. It can be easy to sink into self-pity or throw up our hands and give up or walk away, but there is a better way! A broken heart is no match for the power and love of God. God knows that we will experience sadness, grief, pity, sympathy, longing, helplessness, and all the other emotions that can cause a broken heart. God also knows how to renew, refresh, and save our crushed spirits. When our hearts break, our spirits are crushed, and we feel down and out, we need to pray to and rely on God to lift us up again and help us to continue to move forward in His plan!
When you are down and brokenhearted, turn to and trust in God's restoring power!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me, even when I feel crushed and defeated. Please comfort me and any others that are experiencing a broken heart and restore us on the path that You have placed before us. Through Jesus, my risen Savior, I pray, amen.
