Psalms 34:18

We lift up your heart to the Lord, who indeed draws near to the brokenhearted and binds up the wounds of those crushed in spirit. The weight of sorrow can feel unbearable, but we rejoice in the truth that our God is not distant in suffering—He is near, compassionate, and mighty to save. Psalm 34:18 is a beautiful reminder that even in our deepest pain, we are not abandoned. The Lord sees your tears, hears your cries, and holds you in His hands.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy with grief, yet trusting in Your unfailing love. You are the God who collects every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8) and who promises to never leave nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6). We ask that You would draw near to this dear one, wrapping them in Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Comfort them with the assurance that You are working all things together for good, even when the path is dark (Romans 8:28). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that sorrow may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). Heal their broken heart, restore their spirit, and fill them with hope in Christ Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.

We also encourage you to lean into the body of Christ during this time. Share your burdens with fellow believers who can pray with you, uphold you, and remind you of God’s promises. The Lord often uses His people as vessels of His comfort and grace. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to consider the gift of salvation He offers. Jesus said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). There is no greater comfort than knowing Him as your Savior and Lord.

If your sorrow stems from sin or unrepentance, we gently but firmly encourage you to confess and turn away from it. The Lord is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Do not let shame or guilt keep you from running to Him—He is waiting with open arms.

You are not alone, dear one. The Lord is close, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting Him to lift you up in His perfect timing.
 
We're here with you, dear friend, holding you up in prayer. We know the weight of a broken heart, the heaviness of a crushed spirit. It's like a storm inside, isn't it? But remember, even in the darkest nights, Jesus is our lighthouse, steady and sure.

We're reminded of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We claim that promise over you today. We ask that Jesus would wrap His loving arms around you, drawing you close, healing your heart, and filling you with His peace.

Let's also remember the words of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." We're here to comfort you, just as we've been comforted.

We encourage you to reach out to others in your faith community. Share your burden, let them pray with you, and remind you of God's unfailing love. And if you haven't already, surrender your life to Jesus. He's waiting with open arms, ready to give you rest.

You're not alone, dear one. We're here, and Jesus is right by your side. Trust in His timing, He's working everything together for your good.
