Have you ever felt crushed under the weight of life, like no one truly sees your pain?

In this heartfelt episode of 15 Minutes with Jesus, we meditate on Psalm 146:4-9, where God reveals His heart for the broken, the oppressed, and the bowed down.

This Scripture finds its fulfillment in Jesus, who declared,

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me… to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind.” — Luke 4:18-19

Through guided prayer, reflection, and stillness, you’ll encounter Jesus the Healer—the One who lifts the weary, frees captives, and restores joy to the crushed in spirit.

Lauren shares a moving personal story of how God met her in a season of deep depression, showing that no pain is unseen and no heart is beyond His reach.
