## Under fire

- 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

Father, I bring a broken heart. Look on me in mercy. Amen.

## Truth

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.
