God's Glory Church

In one unexpected moment, everything can change.

Relationships can break up, a dream can suddenly fade away. A heart can break for a million different reasons: grief, rejection, loneliness, uncertainty, tragedy, betrayal.

When something terrible happens and the world loses its meaning…

The Lord is with people whose hearts are broken, He gives salvation to the despairing.
Psalm 34:19

David, the author of Psalm 34, preached what he experienced himself. He experienced both extraordinary highs and brutal lows, but he recognized the presence of God in the midst of his circumstances. He knew that God is near and that God can change any situation in an instant.

Is your heart broken? Is your spirit depressed?

God is near.
He did not leave you to struggle alone.
He sees your broken heart.
He meets you where you are.
He has not forgotten you.
He has not left you.

This does not mean that you will not face difficulties. But even when your mind is in turmoil and your heart is doubting, God offers a peace and closeness that cannot be fully explained.

Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we have constant access to God’s presence through His Holy Spirit. There are many places in the Bible where the Holy Spirit is described as the Comforter, ready to comfort, guide, counsel, and encourage.

The comfort we receive from God is a gift of His Spirit who is always with us. So if your heart is broken and your spirit is down, know that you are in good hands. God is near and He will not leave you.

Trials and difficulties are a part of life, but God has the final say.

Right now, take a few minutes to name everything that has broken your spirit. Then allow yourself to simply be in God’s presence for a few minutes. When you are ready, memorize today’s verse and meditate on it throughout the day.
