S)"18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18 (NASB)
O) This is such a hope-giving, comforting promise that shows God's heart for hurt people. He is so perfect in His Fatherhood toward us that I can only be thankful.
A) The simplicity of this verse is actually quite beautiful. There isn't much else to say or glean. I just want to keep this verse in mind because I know I've felt crushed and heartbroken, and I know that I may feel it again one day. But, my Father will be near and He will save me again.
P) Father, Your love for me is almost surreal at times. I've felt great heartache in my life and times of defeat that seemed so final, and yet You were faithful to this promise, unchanging in Your character. I thank You that I am able to depend on You like this. It is a great comfort, even now before times of pain. Holy Spirit, call to me, remind me that You are near when I am at my most weak, broken, crushed, and defeated. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
