He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.—Psalm 147:3-5 (NKJV)
Gracious God,
Only You know and understand the brokenness in the depths of my heart—so to whom can take my broken heart for healing, but to You?
With infinite
understanding, You count the stars of Your own creation and call each one by
name—yet You choose to focus Your love
on me.
You are intimately
familiar with the wounds I carry—every hurt, every pain, every injustice, every
disappointment and worldly betrayal, with which the enemy has tried to scar my
heart.
You alone are infinite in
Your understanding and You alone hold the mighty power to heal my heart and
bind every wound left by the evil of this fallen world.
Even when I cannot
understand myself—when I am at a loss to explain my own thoughts or actions—You
understand me altogether perfectly and love me completely in spite of my sin.
How I need Your help to
move my attention off of myself and to make You the focus of all my desires—so that
in coming to know You better, I might then begin to discover who I truly am in
You.
Only You know and understand the brokenness in the depths of my heart—so to whom can I take my broken heart for healing, but to You?
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
