Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

There are times when the battles of life leave us beaten, scarred and brokenhearted. If we take our pain to His throne, our Father takes us in His lap and lovingly begins to dress our wounds. He calms our whimpering spirits with His gentle touch and sings over us to comfort. He slowly and methodically addresses each hurt until it is only a battle scar to remind us of His love; and how to help another who may experience the same injury. We often want to run away from Him when we need Him most. We are angry that He did not answer our prayer the way we wanted, or that He allowed us to endure the hardship to begin with. That is when we run the danger of infection of our souls. Without the healing touch of the Father, our wounds fester and harden our hearts. Instead of our scars being used to bring healing to others, we inflict further pain. Take your hurt to the throne. Jesus has opened the way for you to enter and receive the care of the Father.

Great Physician, There are many brokenhearted souls around me now. I beg for You to draw them close and begin Your process to mend their broken heart and dress their wounds with Your love. Use me as Your assistant however I may join You. I love You! Amen
