We are so blessed to serve a God that walks with us through our valleys. Because Christ knows suffering to the fullest, He completely empathizes with our pain. (Hebrews 4:15) No matter how heartbroken we are, we are never alone. In fact, it is the heartbroken who God is near to. Psalm 34:18 promises:

“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18 ESV)

When we can quiet our souls and really pay attention, we can find healing in knowing God is always with us and He will never leave us. The more we make much of God in our hearts and believe that His presence is more than enough, we find hope despite anything we may have lost on this side of eternity. Today, I encourage you to lean on God’s presence, let Him restore your soul, and be reassured that He will always be with you. 

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, when I feel alone or don’t feel Your presence, thank you that You are always with me.  When my soul is heartbroken or weary, thank you for healing and restoring me, and turning my heartbreak into joy. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I pray. Amen.
