We live in a broken world where we experience pain, hurt and suffering. Perhaps, you are hurting right now. Maybe, it is caused by the loss of a loved one. Whatever it is, being broken hearted is painful.

Throughout the ages, God’s children have expressed their pain in hymns and spiritual songs. They speak to us, as they share their trust in God through their sorrow.

Do you feel the closeness of God? Do you feel Him walking with you?

        “Just a closer walk with thee,
           Grant it, Jesus, is my plea;
           Daily walking close to thee,
           Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.”

Do you feel weak? Does the heartbreak of life overwhelm you?

        “I am weak but thou art strong:
           Jesus keep me from all wrong;
           I’ll be satisfied as long
           As I walk, let me walk close to thee.”

Do you feel alone? Do you have no one to share your burdens?

          “Through this world of toil and snares,
           If I falter, Lord, who cares?
           Who with me my burden shares;
           None but thee, dear Lord, none but thee.”*

Take comfort, you are not alone. Your loving Lord walks with you. Through your joys and through your sorrows, He loves you unconditionally.
