A Wounded Yet Willing Heart
Scripture: Psalm 147:3 (NRSV)
“God heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.”
Healing doesn’t erase our scars—it honors them. God doesn’t wait for us to be “all better” before drawing close. Instead, the Holy One meets us right in the mess, binding up our wounds with tenderness and grace.
In a world that teaches us to hide our brokenness, God invites us to bring it into the open. Your healing journey doesn’t need to be perfect or fast. It just needs to be honest.
You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. The God who heals the brokenhearted is still at work in you.
Action Steps:
-
Let the wound breathe. Journal about a pain you’ve been keeping hidden or locked away.
-
Speak to a safe soul. Share your story with someone who can listen with compassion—friend, pastor, counselor.
-
Receive the balm. Spend 10 minutes in quiet, breathing deeply and picturing God gently binding your wound.
Prayer:
Holy Healer,
You see what others don’t—the pain I carry and the places that still hurt. Thank you for loving me with compassion and care. Bind up what is broken in me, and give me strength to keep walking toward healing.
Amen.
