There are days when your heart feels broken.
Not because of a calamity, but because of the quiet sorrows of everyday life. Sorrows that, for one reason or another, cannot be shared with other people and begin to feel so burdensome.
Sorrows that sit just under the surface of every moment, undercutting the blessing of hope that God offers us.
Sorrows that threaten to steal all your joy.
Luckily, there are also moments when you remember that sorrows can sanctify.
They can be offered up. They can be turned into prayers. They can be shared with God even if not with other people.
And, when we stay rooted in faith, hope always endures. Joy wins.

As Psalms 34:18 says, "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed."
If today you have felt swallowed by sorrow, take heart. The Lord is near.
This day will end and another dawn new.
Trust in the Lord. He is a healer of hearts.
