Think about how amazing this is! We have a God who is close to us when our hearts are broken, and we don’t know where to go. When a family member passes away, a friend moves away, or your significant other breaks up with you, God is close to you in those times. Not only is God close, but God also saves those who are crushed in spirit. Maybe you feel like your life has no hope. Maybe you are struck by depression, and it seems like just getting out of bed is impossible. Maybe you’re grieving a major loss. While this can feel difficult and scary, remember that God is close to you in these moments.
Today, think about a time within the past few weeks when you felt crushed or brokenhearted. Ask God to help you as you heal.
