Bound Up With Care
Scripture
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Devotional
When the career pace slows, old griefs sometimes become louder. A disappointment you had no time to feel, a loss you carried while caring for everyone else, or a wound from a relationship may come back into view. This is not failure. It may be an invitation to let God tend what was hidden. Healing is often a patient process. Prayer matters, and so can the support of a trusted pastor, counselor, doctor, or wise friend. You do not have to rush yourself into feeling better. God is not impatient with a wounded heart. He binds up wounds with steady care. Bring Him the part of your story that still aches.
Reflection
What wound have I been carrying quietly that needs prayerful attention and support?
Prayer
Gentle Healer, meet me in the places that still hurt. Give me courage to receive Your care and wise support. Amen.
