Psalm 34:17–18 (NIV) “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper
Mental health pressures rise across every nation, and this scripture remains one of the most searched, highlighted, and shared verses among those battling emotional strain, inner fatigue, and invisible wounds. From London to Stockholm, from Stockholm to Manila, from Manila to Vancouver, from Vancouver to Abuja, countless individuals seek reassurance that God is close to the hurting and present in their emotional struggle. This verse speaks directly into moments of loneliness, panic, exhaustion, or emotional overload. It reminds us that God does not withdraw from brokenness—He draws closer. In seasons where the mind feels overwhelmed and the heart feels heavy, this promise becomes a refuge and a steadying anchor. Across nations where mental health searches are increasing, this scripture offers real hope and divine comfort. Today we pray for those facing depression, emotional fatigue, internal battles, and restless thoughts. God is near, God hears, and God saves, even when the spirit feels crushed.
