Psalms 34:18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit

Over the summer, my family experienced a heartbreak. I took it harder than I should have, and I began to slowly feel myself drift away from how close I was with God. It got to the point I stopped posting, I stopped studying the word, and I pretty much stopped ministering. It wasn’t until I went to pray and found it was harder to talk to God than it used to be. I wanted to blame it on my heartbreak, but I should have been moving closer to God to heal that pain. I should have prayed harder, studied more, and held on to God. It was easier to let my grief pull me away from God. But I am no longer going to let that happen. I know that the only thing that will help heartache is God. I encourage you to do the same and know that God wants to help you with your broken heart. He is the only one who can put the pieces back together. Don’t make the mistake I did, hold to God tighter in the hard times.
