Does God Heal Broken Hearts?

The Bible clearly presents God as one who heals broken hearts. That healing may not always be instant, but Scripture repeatedly shows God as near to the wounded and active in restoration.

What the Bible says

  1. Scripture
    He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
    Psalm 147:3

    This verse directly says God heals broken hearts and tends to inner wounds.

  2. Scripture
    He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.
    Isaiah 61:1

    God’s work includes binding up what has been wounded.

  3. Scripture
    And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
    Revelation 21:4

    The Bible’s final vision includes the complete removal of sorrow and pain.

A grounded way to understand this

God’s healing may be slow, but the Bible does not leave broken hearts without hope.
