He Is Near
„The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart.”
God is not absent when your heart is broken. On the contrary, He draws near where people no longer have the strength to hold themselves up. His nearness is not a theory for strong days, but comfort for the places where you are vulnerable. Yet pain can also imprison you. You can become so accustomed to disappointment that you no longer expect God's presence. Then you shield your heart against hope, but at the same time you close the door to healing. The question is: do you dare to let God into the place where you are most wounded?
Proclamation
The LORD is near my broken heart. He saves my crushed spirit. My pain is not hidden from Him, and my healing is not beyond His reach.
Prayer
Father, draw near to what is broken. Heal what I cannot restore myself and teach me to trust again in Your faithfulness and goodness. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
