First principle
A Broken and Contrite Heart
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.
This hour
Under fire
The next right hold — walk this hour.
- Broken is not useless. God looks to the humble, not the show.
- Do not rush past conviction. Let sorrow lead to life, not stuck shame.
Prayer
When you do not have the words.
- Father, I bring a broken heart. Look on me in mercy. Amen.
Truth
When you can read deeper — Scripture-rooted steel.
This is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at My word.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
