Focus Scripture (Psalm 34:18, KJV): “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”
Today’s Reflection: Comfort
Pain can make God feel distant, but this psalm reminds us that he draws near to those who hurt. His nearness does not make grief imaginary; it gives us a place to bring it. Honest prayer is a faithful response to sorrow.
Reflect
What sadness do you need to bring honestly before God?
Put It Into Practice
Share your burden in prayer and reach out to someone you trust.
Prayer
Lord, meet me in my grief and help me receive comfort and support. Amen.
