How does faith help when your heart feels broken and heavy?

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” This reminds us that God’s presence doesn’t leave when life hurts — in fact, He draws even nearer. When your heart feels heavy, when disappointment, grief, or loneliness press in, God doesn’t stand at a distance. He steps into the pain with compassion, comfort, and strength. He sees every tear. He hears every unspoken prayer. He holds every piece of a wounded heart. And He doesn’t just stay close — He promises healing. Even when you can’t feel Him, He is working, restoring, and lifting you back up.
