How to heal a broken heart. Life’s journey is often marked by challenging and painful experiences that break our hearts and weaken our spirits. But our strength is that we can lean on Jesus in those moments. He is our Savior.
Daily Devotional for June 29
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)
A person of faith has a firm foundation under his feet. Therefore, he does not fall into the abyss when disaster strikes and breaks his heart. He falls on a firm foundation from which, with God’s help, it is much easier to get up and move forward.
How to Heal a Broken Heart
Firstly, we must acknowledge our pain and allow ourselves to grieve. It’s okay to feel our emotions’ weight and mourn the loss. But amid our sorrow, we must also remember that we serve a God who can bring beauty from ashes and joy from mourning.
Secondly, we need to pray to God and seek His comfort and guidance (James 5:13). Pour our hearts before Him, sharing our pain and seeking His healing touch. The Bible assures us that God is close to the brokenhearted, and He binds up our wounds.
Next, we must immerse ourselves in God’s Word, finding solace, encouragement, and hope in its pages. The Bible is filled with promises of God’s faithfulness, love, and desire to restore and renew us. Meditate on these truths and allow them to penetrate deep into our wounded souls.

Additionally, surrounding ourselves with a supportive community of believers is vital. Find comfort in the presence of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who can offer love, encouragement, and prayer. Seek a trusted pastor or counselor who can provide guidance and support on the healing journey.
Finally, we must embrace forgiveness. Letting go of bitterness and resentment is a crucial step toward healing. As Christ has forgiven us, we are called to extend forgiveness to those who have hurt us. Forgiveness frees us from the chains of anger and bitterness and opens our hearts to receive God’s healing and restoration.
There is hope beyond the pain. In Jesus Christ, we find the strength to rebuild, the courage to move forward, and the joy of a restored heart.
