“He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.” —Psalm 107:20 NIV

As I was driving down the road today I found myself reflecting back on a time in my life when I was dry, weary and broken hearted. I was at the end of my rope and desperate for healing. It was in this season when no amount of encouraging sermons could mend my broken heart. Though worship music would touch some of the broken places it still wasn’t enough to really get through to my hurting soul.

But why?

I suppose because my hurt ran so deep I wasn’t able to identify what the problem actually was. Pain had become so much a part of who I was that I’m not even sure I could have received an encouraging word from a person if they happened to stumble on the precise issue I was facing.

I was desperate for something more.

Something more than words.

Something more than a song.

What I couldn’t articulate then, but can see clearly now, is that I was desperate for the heart of God to penetrate the walls I had built around my heart. I needed a healing word to speak life to my aching soul. A word that would cause rivers of life to spring up within the dried up riverbeds of my soul.

I then began to remember the day in the middle of this painful season when something finally got through to me. It was a Sunday morning at church when suddenly in the middle of the worship time a woman on the platform began to sing a prophetic song. As the words left her lips they seemed to flow directly to my heart. Suddenly I was the only one in the large sanctuary and the voice of my Heavenly Father was singing a message of hope directly to my hurting soul.

Something inside me began to brake unexpectedly.

The walls came crashing down.

I began to weep.

I fell to my knees as the floodgates of my soul poured out through my tears.

Finally something got through and, fittingly, it was the voice of God Almighty speaking directly to my wounds.

This is what God does, friend. He speaks directly to our broken places.

He speaks life to places that have died.

There is no hype.

No fluff.

Just healing.

Like a defibrillator to a heart thats stopped beating, so the voice of God revives a heart.

I wonder, how many are feeling this way today? Like nothing can break through. You’ve been searching and longing for freedom from pain but its as if you’ve become numb. You don’t even know what to ask for anymore, but you could really use a healing word straight from the Father.

Friend, be encouraged because this is just for you! You are the one today! God is pursuing your heart and desires to speak life to places that have died! Hope to areas you’ve given up on! And freedom to places that are bound!

“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” —Psalms 34:18 

He is near to you today friend and if you’ll listen He will speak directly to your wounds.

Know that I’m praying for you as you wait upon the Lord. This is your moment…

I love you,

Krissy
