| When God Mends the Heart: Psalm 147:3 |
📖 Scripture:
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”— Psalm 147:3 (KJV)
Devotional:
Some pain doesn’t announce itself.
It lingers quietly — tucked behind smiles, hidden beneath strength, carried day after day without words.
Psalm 147:3 reminds us that God is not distant from brokenness.
He is drawn to it.
He does not rush the healing.
He does not overlook the wound.
He does not minimize the hurt.
Instead, He comes close.
God heals with intention — tending the heart gently, binding what has been torn, restoring what life has fractured. Healing may not erase the memory of the pain, but it softens its grip. What once controlled your heart no longer defines it.
If you’ve been holding yourself together for a long time, this verse is for you.
God sees the places where you are still mending — and He is actively at work there.
Healing is not weakness.
It is evidence of God’s care.
Reflection:
- What areas of your heart feel tender or wounded right now?
- What would it look like to invite God into those places instead of carrying them alone?
Daily Wisdom Insight:
God heals the heart with patience, purpose, and perfect care.
Practical Application:
Begin your day with this declaration:
“God is healing my heart and restoring what has been broken.”
Repeat it slowly.
Let it settle.
Allow God’s truth to replace the weight you’ve been carrying.
Prayer:
Father,
Thank You for seeing the broken places in my heart
that I struggle to put into words.
You know every wound,
every ache,
every silent tear.
Heal what has been broken within me.
Bind up the places that still hurt.
Restore what feels fragile.
Help me trust You with the process,
even when healing takes time.
I receive Your comfort,
Your peace,
and Your restoring love today.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
