1.Set the break back to the right position.
With a broken arm, setting the bone straight is the first step. This happened by trusting the break into the hands of the physician. With a broken heart, our first step is to trust the hands of the Ultimate Physician… God Himself. It means admitting we can’t bring full and complete healing on our own, and thankfully, we don’t have to do it on our own. Jesus is ready to carry us through if we’ll just trust Him. Allow His Word to guide your healing plan and His strength to carry you through.
“…and all who touched Him were healed.” (Matthew 14:36)
2. Put on a cast (protect your heart).
The cast was hard. It provided a layer of protection from anything or anyone who might cause further damage to the break. When your heart is broken, you can’t put on an actual “cast” but you need to put layers of protection around your heart. You don’t want your heart itself to become hard, but you want it to be protected. This happens by surrounding yourself with people who will encourage you and pray for you and removing yourself from people who would intentionally or unintentionally cause further harm.
#3 might be the most difficult task on this list, but it’s crucially important…
