Preview of day 1. Start the plan to track progress through each day.

Day 1: God is near the brokenhearted

KJV

The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Grief can make God feel far. The psalm says the opposite of what pain suggests.

“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Nearness is promise, not always feeling.

You do not have to tidy your sorrow before approaching God. Brokenheartedness is a place He draws close.

Practice: Tell God one honest sentence about your loss. Lord, I am crushed—come near and save. Amen.
