Question: god is close to those who mourn?
Answer: “Blessed are those who mourn,” Jesus said, “for they shall be comforted.” It's true. Psalm 147:3 says, “He heals the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.” Psalm 51, the most honest confession of personal sin in the Bible, ends with these words to God: “You will not despise this broken and crushed heart.”
