When experiencing heartache, the Bible offers comforting words and promises of healing. Here are five Bible verses from the King James Version (KJV) that can bring solace and hope to a broken heart:
- Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”
- Psalm 147:3 “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
- Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”
- Matthew 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
- Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
These verses remind us that God is always near, especially in times of sorrow. He promises to heal our broken hearts and bring us peace. No matter the depth of our pain, His love and comfort are always available to us.
