What Scripture Says
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Psalm 34:18Going Deeper
When someone you love is grieving, you may not know what to say. That's okay — prayer says what words cannot. Ask God, the Father of compassion, to wrap them in His comfort. Pray that they would feel His nearness in the loneliest hours. And know that your prayer itself is an act of love that matters more than you realize.
