Bible Verse:

Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Reflection:

Life can bring seasons of pain, loss, or quiet disappointment that leave our hearts feeling heavy. Yet this verse reminds us that we are never truly alone in those moments. God doesn’t stand far off from our suffering—He draws near. His presence offers comfort that no words or explanations can provide.

When your spirit feels crushed, know that God is already at work, gently lifting and restoring you. His love is not dependent on your strength; it meets you exactly where you are. Trust that He is holding you close, and that healing is already in motion even if you cannot yet see it.
