Healing!

Psalm 34:17-20
"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants.
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned."

I read this passage for my devotions today, and this is a summary of the devotional that went with it:

God promises to be there for the healing of the raw edges of our souls. In His incomparable love for His creation, He promises to be near us in our brokenness. He also promises never to leave us. Many of us feel guilty that we need human support. But Jesus, before He was crucified also expressed a need for human support. He stopped to pray alone at the garden of Gethsemane but then asked Peter, James, & John to go further into the garden with Him, telling them He was deeply distressed. Jesus prayed, He sought the support and comfort of God. He also sought the support and comfort of His disciples. The example of Jesus encourages us to pray as well as request human presence. Galatians 6:2 tells us to bear one another's burdens.

I wanted to share this because I'm so thankful for all of the love, support, and comfort that I have felt from God, but also from my friends and family. THANK YOU!
