Hope For a Broken Heart



Hope For a Broken Heart

 “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” (Psalm 51:17)

According to Dr. McNair Wilson; “Perhaps the greatest psychological, spiritual and medical need that all people have is the need for hope.” (Hope for Each Day)

A broken heart can be the caused for several reasons. Many of them are beyond our control while some were because of our own doing. We may have a broken hearts because: 1- We are in desperate need of love. 2- We see sin in our midst. 3- We have a righteous indignation. 4- We were rejected by someone for something or by someone special. 5- We get disappointed due to circumstances and problems. 6- We have unanswered prayers. 7- Our hearts are broken for the lost world.


Jesus is the only hope and the hope of every broken spirit.  “18-The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19- The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”(Psalm 34:18- 19)
