Day 1: The Lord is near the brokenhearted
Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
This reading plan is pastoral Scripture study, not crisis counseling, legal advice, or medical care. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. In the US and Canada, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Reach a trusted pastor, counselor, or doctor alongside these daily readings. If you are being harmed at home, seek safety first—this plan is not a call to stay in danger. See also the domestic-violence reading plan Safe in the Shadow of the Almighty. Divorce can feel like a death with paperwork. God draws near to shattered hearts.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Nearness is not a slogan; it is God’s posture toward crushed people.
Where does your spirit feel crushed today—and have you told God honestly?
Practice: Write one honest sentence of grief or anger to God. Lord, come near to my broken heart. Amen.
