S2 E57 | A Blessing for the Broken

On today’s episode of Pause. Breathe. Pray.™, I will share lyrics to a song that blessed me in a broken moment that I pray bless you too.
 
Summary - Reflection and Application
Be transparent with God about where you are feeling broken.
Listen, read and absorb the truth woven into these lyrics.
 
Lyrics of the Week ⁠
The pages of history, they tell me it's true
That it's never the perfect
It's always the ones with the scars that You use
Oh, it's the rebels and the prodigals
It's the humble and the weak
All the misfit heroes You chose
Tell me there's hope for sinners like me
Now I'm just a beggar in the presence of a King
I wish I could bring so much more
But if it's true, You use broken things
Then here I am Lord, I'm all Yours
-Broken Things by Matthew West
