Day 24: Close to the Brokenhearted

Devotion:
When your heart feels heavy, it can be easy to feel alone in your pain, but God’s promise is clear: He is close to the brokenhearted. He doesn’t stand at a distance, waiting for you to figure things out or fix what’s broken. Instead, He draws near, offering His comfort and peace right where you are.

God’s presence in your pain isn’t just about soothing the hurt; it’s about holding you together when you feel like you’re falling apart. He sees every tear, every doubt, and every fear, and He’s not overwhelmed by any of it. His love is steady, His comfort is real, and His healing is always at work—even when you can’t see it yet.

If you’re hurting today, take heart: God hasn’t left you. He’s holding you in the midst of your brokenness, working to bring restoration and renewal. Let Him carry the weight that feels too much for you to bear. You don’t have to have it all together—He’s got you, and He’s not letting go.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for being close when my heart feels broken. Help me to rest in Your love and trust You to heal the hard places. Amen.
