Today's insight

When life leaves you crushed, you might feel completely abandoned and alone. Yet this verse assures you that "The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart." He does not turn away from your pain or demand that you hide your wounds; instead, He draws near and "saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."

Reflect

Where in your life today do you feel most broken or weary, and can you trust that the Lord is right beside you in that place?

Prayer

Lord, thank You for drawing close when my heart is hurting and my spirit feels crushed. Please meet me in my weakness today, comfort my sorrow, and save me by Your gentle presence. Amen.
