The Depths of Sorrow

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18

Lord, my heart is broken and bleeding. I am filled with grief. I hardly have words to adequately express my sorrow. My spirit is crushed; I feel utterly deflated and defeated.

Your Word says You will never leave or forsake me, but I confess I’m struggling to sense Your presence with me. Help me to see glimpses of Your grace and feel the nearness of Your love.

In the midst of this dark, lonely valley, show me evidence of Your footprints next to mine. Bind up my wounds, I pray. I can’t imagine healing from this pain, but I have to believe that it’s possible for You to accomplish. Give me the stamina I need to endure this heartache.

In Your mercy, I am struck down but not destroyed. Thank You for being both powerful and compassionate enough to carry my hurting soul.

Amen
