Psalm 34:18
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Understanding this passage
This psalm does not rush past grief. It declares that God draws near specifically to those whose hearts are broken.
Why this verse helps
Sadness can feel isolating. Scripture says God moves toward the brokenhearted rather than away from them.
A prayer for you
Lord, in my sadness draw near to me. Heal what is broken in my spirit. Amen.
