I Was Broken
I broke my collarbone and afterwards I had to get surgery. Because of this, my muscles deteriorated and I felt very weak and I was indeed broken.
Psalm 6:2
I broke my collarbone and afterwards I had to get surgery. Because of this, my muscles deteriorated and I felt very weak and I was indeed broken. In these trials in life that we face, we can often feel weak, broken and in need of support. It is in these times that you can go to the Lord for strength.
Weakness and pain are evident all around us and we can see it in the news, of the impoverished people, war torn countries, famine, sicknesses, and death. We see these things affecting our friends and our family as well. They don’t only affect those outside of us, but they also affect us as well. Anxiety, depression, illness, injuries and stress all reveal to us how fragile we are. These things are a result of the fall into sin. They are not natural. You were not meant to be hospitalized. You were not meant to have a broken bone. You were not meant to die.
You do not have to face these trials that weaken you alone. God is with you. Call on the Lord in your trouble. Hear these comforting words of Psalm six that are also a great example of how we can pray to the Lord in our trouble.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; (Psalm 6:2)
In your weaknesses when you don’t know if you can get through the day on your own. Call on the Lord. He is with you every step of the way, and he will listen to your prayers and he will answer your prayers. He sent Jesus into this world to not only bear your sins, give you forgiveness through faith, but to also bear your burdens upon himself. Christ is with you when you are feeling weak. He is your strength. The Psalm continues for us.
Oh Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled. (Psalm 6:2)
When you get a cut. When you get a broken bone, or when you get a torn ACL. Call on the Lord for healing. When you are injured internally, whether it be mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, go to the Lord. Jesus provides the healing for your soul and for your mind. God listens to your prayers and he answers your prayers according to his will. When you are in need of strength and of support, go to the Lord. He has given you forgiveness of sins. He has given you his love, and he has given you the promise that he is with you every step of the way.
When you’re weak, when you’re broken, go to the Lord. Amen.
