“My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken.”
- Job 17:11
Have you ever felt like you’ve been broken in pieces? Your life is not going the way you thought it should. This is definitely not a comfortable place to be in. You may not feel like reading your Bible and you not even feel like praying.
But when you look to Jesus to heal your brokenness, it is the safest place to dwell at any point of life.
The Word reminds us in Psalms 34:18
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in the spirit.
Do you have the faith to believe that God can bring a change to your situation? He is the One who can put the pieces of your life back together, making you stronger than you were before. By leaning on God, He will cause your brokenness to become a blessing not only to you but to those around you.
Be encouraged by these words from Isaiah 61:3
To appoint unto them the mourn in Zion, to give the beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
