Is God Near When You're Hurting? (Psalm 34:18)

Today’s Bible Verse: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Psalm 34:18 offers tender reassurance for seasons of pain. God is not distant from sorrow—He draws near to those whose hearts feel shattered. When emotions are heavy and strength feels thin, His presence moves closer, not farther away.
