Your Daily Devotional 7/18/2025: He Heals the Brokenhearted

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Psalm 147:3

Devotional Message

God doesn’t just acknowledge our brokenness—He personally heals it with His divine touch. The pain you are feeling, whether it be the anguish in your heart, the desperation in your voice, or the confusion in your mind—His tender, compassionate care extends towards our deepest emotional and spiritual wounds. Not only for the ones that we are aware of, but also for the unseen wounds that we aren’t even conscious of. He heals not just what we know is broken, but also everything else that is spiritually attached to that brokenness through His supernatural power.

Often when we experience emotional pain, we want a quick fix. We want to instantly be repaired, to have our hearts divinely mended, to have the void filled by something else outside of us. But the process of divine healing is never linear—it is a sacred spiral where we encounter the same spiritual lessons as years past, need to revisit the same wounds from years ago, need to feel the pain once more but in a different dimension and level. But the process of healing that God facilitates within us is extraordinary, for each time we feel our hearts breaking, we encounter a level of spiritual depth, supernatural strength, and holy resilience within us that we might not have ever noticed had we not gone through that exact pain. Each time we process the pain through His grace, we become stronger, wiser, and more rooted in our authentic, God-given selves.

Not only does our Heavenly Father mend our pain, but He also understands it perfectly—He knows what we feel before we can pinpoint it, He knows what we’re thinking before we’re aware of it, He knows the spiritual root of our suffering before we discover it. As long as we believe in God’s healing power, even when the pain feels overwhelming and unbearable, we’ve already begun the true healing process. Not a quick fix, not an instantaneous relief—but a lifelong spiritual journey of being restored back into wholeness, where the scars we wear are the battle wounds that are proof of our inner fortitude and the power of trusting in our divine Creator.

Let’s Pray

Dear God, as my heart breaks today and I sit in this emotional pain, please offer Your healing touch to mend the fractures within me. Allow me to feel the brokenness, while also receiving Your compassionate care and understanding, helping me to trust in Your healing process and the timing of it.

I know that the pain I’m feeling is all happening for me, that it is instilling a deeper trust in myself and allowing me to gain even more strength. But as I waver each moment, please deepen my belief that healing is possible and is occurring, even when it doesn’t feel like it. Help me remember that You are close to the brokenhearted and that You personally bind up my wounds. Amen.
