Healing a Broken Spirit
Stories of people with broken spirits are threaded throughout the scriptures. Elijah wanting to die (1 Kings 19). The widow with the last of her olive oil (2 Kings 4). The woman the issue of blood (Luke 8:40-47). Even Jesus wept, asking His Heavenly Father to take the cup He needed to drink from him (Luke 22:39-45).
Turning to God for help made the difference, and it makes the difference for us. Here’s a short poll for those how have a favorite go to scripture to get them through dark times. I know I have mine own. But I want to hear yours!

Romans 8:28 and we know God works for the good of those who love him .
Thanks for commentng, Lisa. What words of comfort those are! When everything seems to fall around us, it helps in staying focused knowing that nothing is outside the reach of God. Great verse.
Yep.. Helped me get thru divorce & soon afterwards when my ex became a paraplegic. God was with me then & Now!
Jeremiah 29:12-13 – Then you will call upon Me, and come to pray to Me, and I will hear you. You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.
Thanks for commenting, Joanna. Yes, I love that verse, too! What comfort in His promises! It’s interesting to see what moves the hearts of broken people.
