The Holy Bible
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted — closer than the pain itself. These Bible verses for a broken heart are for loss, heartbreak, and disappointment, when comfort has to come from somewhere deeper.
“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.”
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.”
