God is Near the Brokenhearted

How often do we wish to be trouble-free? If only we didn't have to experience the pain of heartache, failures, grief, or even everyday struggles that just wear us out. God promises to be "close to the broken hearted and those crushed in spirit". He wants to be our source to draw from. He is where we draw our courage to stand firm, our wisdom to make the right decision, our power to overcome, our help in trying times. 

When we face the problems of this life, instead of getting frustrated with God, let's be thankful that he is always by our side, and acknowledge that we need him.

Psalm 34:18
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted ; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed."
