Finding Power and Purpose in Brokenness

Waking up one morning. Lying in bed for a prolonged period of time not wanting to start the day. The first and tenth thought in my head was ‘I hate myself’, and every thought in between was the same self-loathing thought. Repeating my self as though I was talking to a mirror. But yet, in the back of my mind, like a distant echo, I could faintly hear myself saying “I trust in the Lord”, he has brought me here to break me. I am broken, Lord. Use me. I pray I find purpose in my brokenness.

Stripped down to the foundation. Nothing left of me but my faith that you will rebuild me stronger than before. Use me God as your vessel to help others as I glorify your name. Take my brokenness and give me strength. When I look back I will know it is you who have brought me this far. I will know it is you who has mended my brokenness and made me whole again. Filled now with your purpose for me. As I mend I can see the purpose God has for me.

Never forget you have a purpose. What God has brought you to he will bring you through stronger and better than before. The trails and tribulations, pain and sorrow. Through it all, I have seen God work miracles in my life. Thank you, Lord, for the changes in me!
