Psalm 34:18
‘The LORD is close to the broken-hearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.’

Life can often leave us feeling crushed and broken.
These conditions do not remove God from us, they attract His presence.
He is the One Who comes close during difficult times to heal and restore.
Just when we want to write ourselves off, He comes to forgive and save us.

Let's Pray...
Lord, how wonderful it is to know that even when I am facing challenges, Your hand is still there to lift me up. Today, You are close to me and You are ready to help, heal and restore my soul.

Amen.
