Psalm 34:18 (NIV) — When Your Heart Is Hurting, Remember That Jesus Is Close to You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Perhaps by midday, you’ve managed to keep going, even though something inside you is hurting. You may have smiled, answered the questions, carried on with work and done what needed to be done, while quietly carrying something nobody else knows about. You don’t have to hide that from Jesus. He already knows, and He is not far away. PSALM 34:18 (NIV) “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Jesus, we come to You honestly today. For the person listening whose heart is hurting, please draw near. For someone carrying disappointment, grief, loneliness or a wound they don’t know how to explain, let them know they don’t have to carry it alone. Meet them gently, without pressure, and give them room to breathe. We pray for people and families across Spain, Ghana, Brazil, Hungary, Romania and France. Be close to those facing loss, uncertainty or difficult circumstances. Strengthen families who are trying to hold together, comfort those who feel alone, and bring hope to anyone who has quietly wondered whether You see what they are going through. Jesus, we don’t need perfect words today. We simply bring You our hearts. Where there are tears, be near. Where there is disappointment, bring comfort. Where there is emptiness, remind us that Your presence has not moved. Holy Spirit, help us receive the truth that we are seen, known and loved. We may not understand everything that has happened, but we can trust the One who is with us in it. Fear will not win, because Jesus is close to the hurting heart. Amen.
