Mended by Mercy

🌊 Theme: Anchored in Hope

📖 Scripture:
“He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3 (GNTD)

📜 Background:
Psalm 147 is a song of restoration, celebrating God’s power and compassion. After exile and loss, the people of Israel are reminded that God not only rebuilds cities—He rebuilds hearts. Verse 3 is a tender promise: God sees our pain, and He doesn’t ignore it. He heals, He binds, and He stays close.

💡 Devotional:
One October morning, I sat on my back deck, watching leaves dance gently to the ground . The hush of the forest felt like a balm. I thought of Psalm 147:3: “He heals the broken-hearted…”

We all carry wounds—some visible, some buried deep. Disappointment, grief, betrayal, weariness. But God doesn’t rush past our pain. He leans in. His mercy is gentle, like a bandage over raw places. He doesn’t just fix us—He mends us with love.

If your heart feels broken today, you’re not forgotten. You’re not alone. You’re being mended by mercy.

🪞 Reflection Questions:

What part of your heart feels wounded or weary right now?
How have you experienced God’s healing in past seasons?
What does it mean to be “mended by mercy” in your current circumstances?

🙏 Prayer:
Lord, thank You for seeing my broken places.
You don’t turn away—you draw near.
Heal what hurts, bind what’s bleeding, and restore what feels lost.
Anchor me in Your mercy, and remind me that hope is rising.
Amen.

🛠️ Application:
Write down one area of your life that needs healing.
Beside it, write: “God is mending me.”
Each time pain surfaces this week, speak that truth aloud and rest in His mercy.

📌 Takeaway:
God doesn’t ignore broken hearts—He heals them.
Anchored in hope, we are mended by mercy and held by love.
