When Pain Speaks the Loudest
An Inspirational Devotion From Pastor Brian
July 8, 2025
Pain is the universal language. It speaks to every person, every culture, every age.
With everything going on in our world, like the tragic flooding in Texas, our hearts are heavy. Maybe today you're walking through your own personal storm. You feel crushed. You feel broken. And you’re wondering how you’re going to make it.
Can I remind you of something powerful? God is close to the brokenhearted.
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is near the brokenhearted. He saves those crushed in spirit.”
We may not have all the answers, but we do know where to turn. Whether it's the loss of life in a disaster, persecution for faith, or silent suffering in your own home, God sees you. He understands your pain.
I’ve stood beside many hospital beds over the years. Some people stepped into heaven, but their families were left behind with tears and questions. As a pastor, I wish I had every answer. But what I do have is the word of God. And the word of God reminds me that He is faithful even when life doesn’t make sense.
So today, lean into the Lord. Cry out to Him. Trust Him with your pain. He knows what it feels like. And He promises to walk with you through the valley.
Until next time, remember to take time out for God, because God always has time for you!
Sticky Statement:
Pain is real, but so is God’s presence.
Questions To Think About?
Prayer For Today:
"Heavenly Father, thank you for understanding my pain. Thank you for being near when my heart feels broken. Help me to lean on you today. I don’t have all the answers, but I trust that you do. Please bring healing to my heart and hope to my spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen."
