Listen to my Heart, Lord...

It seems like the past few days, have been one struggle after another. I don’t know about you; but when the heart is hurting deeply, it can be difficult to even speak one word…let alone a prayer.
 
One thing I have come to see overtime; is that when we can’t speak through the hurt; that God will look deep within the heart and read the thoughts and hurtful feelings that have been etched within the wall of the heart. We must remember that God is not like any other…for He is a God who not only created us; but knows every part of our being.
 
In Psalm 34:18, we read… “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Throughout my life, I have truly experienced this verse, which has given me hope today, for the uncertain moments I’m walking through.
 
At a time, when we feel as if God has abandoned us; this actually becomes the time, when He is even closer to us…feeling every broken moment that we’re experiencing. Sometimes, the difficult moments we face, can make us feel so alone…in a world of our own; but let me encourage you today; that even though we feel this way…God is there, in that world with us and He’s placing His loving arms around us…holding us close and shielding us, from the storms that have attempted to take hold of us.
 
No matter what you’re facing right now, just know that God’s presence surrounds you and He will never take His eyes off of you…for He loves you…and if He didn’t want to love and care for you; then He would have never created you. Just know that God is there with you right now…reading the tablet of your heart…and He will save those, who are crushed in spirit!!
