Psalm 34:18-19 By His stripes we are healed.

 Psalm 34:17

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.


Trust in God to heal and restore all that satan has tried to destroy in your life. God can do what no one else can. Carla


Psalm 34:18-19

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,

And •saves such as have a contrite spirit.

19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

But the Lord delivers him out of them all. (NKJV)


The Lord hears. With slight variations, this is a reprise of verse 6. The Lord is near. When the Scriptures speak of God being near, it is to comfort the believer with a sense of His care. The NKJV Study Bible


God knows the distresses of the righteous.  While the psalmist indicated earlier that those who fear Yahweh will not suffer any want (Psalm 34:8–10), here he indicates they should not expect a trouble-free life. They can expect that Yahweh will be with them and will deliver them from their troubles. Faithlife Study Bible


Psalm 51:17

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,

A broken and a contrite heart—

These, O God, You will not despise.


2 Titus 3:11–12

persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 


Psalm 147:3

He heals the brokenhearted

And binds up their wounds.


Psalm 145:18

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,

To all who call upon Him in truth.


 …life-giving when someone “sees” you—affirms you—and helps you remember that we are indeed on this journey together.
This kind of affirmation plants the seeds of gratitude—for connection, for honoring the sacred in one another. And yes, it brings us back to what really matters.
It brings us back to the people and moments that remind us why we are here.
Let us take a moment to think of people in our circles who may have “fallen”—and could value the gift of someone stopping and saying, “We see you. Are you okay? Can we help in any way?”

And this always does my heart good.


Who are your people? Who remind you that today is a good day to work to heal.  A good day to be vulnerable to being transformed. To right a wrong. To forgive (beginning with myself). To embrace. To offer a hand, or a kind word. Or both. Sabbath Moments
