LORD, you have examined me

and you know me.

You know everything I do;

from far away you understand all my thoughts.

You see me, whether I am working or resting;

you know all my actions.

Even before I speak,

you already know what I will say.

You are all around me on every side;

you protect me with your power.

Your knowledge of me is too deep;

it is beyond my understanding.

Psalm 139:1-6

Pray and ask the LORD to help see beyond the behavior of others. Be sensitive to their hurt. Respond with love, draw them close to us, and take them to the One who can heal their broken hearts.

God can mend your broken heart,

But you must give Him all the pieces.
