The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that life can land some vicious blows on our heads and hearts from time to time. When we are dealing with situations on a daily basis that seem hopeless, we can experience a genuine sense of brokenness and loneliness. We can be surrounded by hoards of people, even family and friends who love us, and yet be crushed in spirit with a heavy weight of sadness. Ironically, surrounded....but alone.
As the psalmist wrote in Psalm 34:18: "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." An empathetic Christ-centered counselor can help you receive God's provision of Hope, Help and Healing, assisting you in lifting the heavy weight off your heart.
The LORD will draw near to your heart and lift you up to joy and gladness. As Christ lovingly encouraged the saddened, "Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted." (Matthew 5:4)
So if you are experiencing loneliness, sadness, a broken heart or daily disappointment with life and living, today is the best day to begin an upward path that leads from sadness to gladness. That is the will of God for all of His beloved children who are experiencing brokenness in this fallen world.
