Healing Hearts
Psalm 147:3(TPT) – He heals the wounds of every shattered heart.
Luke 4:18-19(NKJV) – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
The Passion Translation – freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind
Brokenhearted: shattered, smashed, broken in pieces
Wounds: sorrow, grief, painful trauma
Broken heart: a great loss or disappointment. We feel hurt, scorned, forgotten, crushed or rejected.

O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will be gracious if you ask for help. He will surely respond to the sound of your cries. 21 Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go, “whether to the right or to the left.
