when we are hurting

The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Ps 34:18

I think so often when we get hurt in life especially if we have made mistakes it is easy to think God is the last person we can go to, but He is near to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. We can go to Him because He is near to those of us who are hurting.

In the New Testament also the Lord is described like this

A bruised reed He will not break, and a smouldering wick He will not snuff out
Matt 12:20

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness to us and your character that you are a deeply compassionate God and so gentle with us when we are hurting.
