Psalm 34:18 — Early-Morning Prayer for Comfort, Healing, Emotional Strength and God’s Nearness to the Brokenhearted

 From London to Manila, from Johannesburg to Toronto, from Seoul to Nairobi — recorded live here in London, England — a global 3 A.M. prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Devotional Cycle.

Scripture (NIV)
 Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Isaiah 41:10 — “Do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you.”  Across the world, 3 A.M. remains the hour where searches for comfort, emotional healing and God’s nearness dramatically increase. Psalm 34:18 continues to be one of the most sought-after verses for those carrying grief, trauma or deep internal pain.

Prayer (110–130 words)
 Father, in these quiet hours I ask You to come close to every broken place within me. Bring comfort where sorrow weighs heavy and healing where the heart feels torn. Restore my strength where I feel crushed and breathe hope into places overshadowed by fear or pain. Wrap me in Your presence, steady my emotions and lift the heaviness from my spirit. Speak peace to troubling thoughts, light to dark moments and courage to weary feelings. Let Your nearness become my strength and Your love become my rest. Tonight, surround me with calm, renew my inner world and remind me that I am never alone in my struggle.

We're jumping straight in, and I pray that the love of God will strengthen you today, that the anointing will be over your lives. And as you look for comfort and healing and emotional strength, God's nearness is by you. He is close to the brokenhearted. We're jumping in. Come on, brother and sister, wherever you are. Psalm 34, verse 18, the Lord. This is what the Bible says. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and he saves those who are crushed in spirit. Lord, we feel the crushing pressure of the world. Lord, we feel right now, Lord, that there is a crushing sensation over our lives. And Lord, we thank you that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Lord, we thank you that you are close to us because Lord, we feel broken today. We feel lost today. We feel scared in the world in which we live. But Father, wherever we are, from London to Manila, from Manila to Johannesburg, from Johannesburg to Toronto, sorry, from Toronto to Seoul, from Seoul, dear God, to Nice. We pray for such an outpouring of your love and your mercy. Lord, as we seek the Father's heart right now, as we pray for comfort, we pray for healing, we pray for emotional strength, and we pray for God's nearness. We pray for your nearness right now, that the glory, that the power, that the love of God will be over each and every one of us. And we believe, Father, we believe in the power of the word. And we thank you for Psalm 34, verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in spirit. And we believe in Isaiah 41, verse 10. Do not fear. Come on, Lord, I pray that we will not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you. Father, I pray that the love of God will just stretch down and reach over each and every one of us, that the power and the anointing will sit on us today. Lord, I pray that you will carry the listeners. Whatever situation they are facing, Lord, I thank you that wherever we are, maybe in a broken place, maybe in a place, dear God, of heaviness, the weight of life, Father, we thank you that God is near each and every one of us. And as we come to you, we believe in miracles. Father, we ask you that the Spirit of the Lord will be over us. Lord, as we wrap ourselves up in the Word, as the Word wraps us up, Lord, as we stand on the gospel of hope. Father, we thank you that as we steady ourselves through the Word of God, Father, we do what David did. We strengthen ourselves in the Lord. We strengthen ourselves in the scripture. We strengthen ourselves in Psalms 34, verse 18. God, allow your glory to descend on us today. Lord, we pray for miracles. We pray for your love and your power and your mercy. That your love, dear God, will just move over each and every one of us. That there will be such a move of the Holy Spirit in our lives that we will feel your grace. Lord, your goodness, your mercy, your saving grace. Father, we ask you that you will do a miracle in our lives. That Father, we will come to the cross today and we will realize that there is comfort. The prayer for comfort, the prayer for healing, the prayer for emotional strength, the prayer for peace, the prayer for clarity, the prayer for hope. Come, Holy Spirit, will you restore us? Will you let your glory just fall down on each and every one of us? Lord, will you open the doorway today? Lord, open that door so we can see Christ. Lord, we need you in our lives like never before. Lord, we're hungry for the truth. We're hungry for the word of God. And we believe today's breakthrough. Lord, we understand, Lord, what the world is trying to do to us, but we are strong in the word. We are brothers and sisters that lock down on the field of life. We lock down together. Lord, we lock shields of hope today. We come to you as brothers and sisters, Father, that are broken, that are lost, but we know our lives are resting in the Word of God. So, Father, we thank you for Psalm 34, verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in spirit. Lord, we thank you for Isaiah 41, verse 10. Do not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you. Father, I thank you for your strength. I thank you for your power. I thank you for your anointing. I thank you for your love and your grace and your love that's just over us. And for those that are going through trauma, those that have got deep emotional pain, Father, we pray for protection. Bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Until tomorrow, may the joy of the Lord be your strength. My name is Reverend Ben Cooper. See you soon. Take care. God bless.
