Psalm 147:3
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
God sees wounds that others may not notice.
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
God sees wounds that others may not notice.
“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved.”
This is a direct prayer for God’s healing and rescue.
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.”
God is named here as the God of all comfort, not only some comfort.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.”
The promise is not that valleys disappear, but that God is present in them.
“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
Jesus speaks blessing over those who mourn and promises comfort.
“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart.”
God's nearness matters most when pain feels isolating.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.”
Waiting on God is not passive. It is a way of receiving strength.
