The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles,  but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.--- Psalm 34:18-19 NLT We often wish we could escape trouble---the pain of grief, loss, sorrow, and failure, or even the small daily frustrations that constantly wear us down. God promises to be “close to the brokenhearted” and to be our source of power, courage, and wisdom, helping us through our problems. Sometimes he chooses to deliver us from those problems. When trouble strikes, don’t get frustrated with God. Instead, admit that you need God’s help and thank him for being by your side.--- Life Application Study Bible notes
