Dear Broken Hearted...



Dear Broken Hearted,

It may be one of those days where you don't want to get out of bed.

Crawl out of bed.

It may be one of those days where your soul feels overwhelmed.

It is well with your soul.

It may be one of those days where you just feel numb and you are walking around in shock.

Force yourself to function.

It may be one of those days where your mind escapes to another place and your thoughts aren't clear.

You have a sound mind.

It may be one of those days you are living and acting out of trauma.

Recognize the trauma and step out of it.

Your flesh may be curled up in a fetal position weeping, but tell your spirit to rise up.

Your flesh may be wanting to run, but tell your spirit to dance instead.

Your flesh may want to seek revenge, but tell your spirit to forgive.

Your flesh may want to keep hurting today, but tell your spirit you are healed.

Your flesh may want to give up today, but tell your spirit to persevere.

Dear God heal the broken hearts today. Let them feel you breathe life into their beating hearts. May their heart beat with yours. May they gently feel your restoring hands go deep inside and repair.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:18

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. -Psalm 147:3
