Healed and Whole

Have you ever had a broken heart? Have you ever felt wounded or broken?
When we have been crushed, or find ourselves in deep grief or loss, we may feel brokenhearted. When we experience trauma in our lives we may say we have been wounded.
When we experience being brokenhearted or wounded we long for the healing and the restoration that only God can bring.
The Psalmist declares God’s healing and restoration when he proclaims, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3, ESV).
When we are broken hearted we need the healing and wholeness that God brings. When we are wounded we need God to bind up our wounds and to make us whole again.
May we experience the healing and the wholeness that we need through God’s restorative work as he heals our broken hearts and binds up our wounds.
A Collect for Strength to Await Christ’s Return: “O God our King, by the resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ on the first day of the week, you conquered sin, put death to flight, and gave us the hope of everlasting life: Redeem all our days by this victory; forgive our sins, banish our fears, make us bold to praise you and to do your will; and steel us to wait for the consummation of your kingdom on the last great Day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
