The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 NIV

I was in hospital, my waters had broken but my baby was too little to be born and survive. My heart was crushed and bleak. To seek God’s comfort I attempted to read my Bible but every time I tried the tears poured down my face making it impossible to see. The only thing I could do was put my hand on God’s word. So I  just lay on my bed with my hand on my Bible and God comforted my heart. The inevitable happened and my little one died but God sustained me. There are times when we must trust our loving Father God even when we do not understand why a tragedy happens. He bends over us and whispers his love to our broken hearts, bringing hope into our darkness.
