God’s Plan In The Pieces 

Holding on, but to find, you have to let go and let God finish his work. 
My heart breaks out of control, another piece of love hurts. 
I want to go back and turn around to what once was. BUT… The future awaits. 
Water under the bridge never returned to the place that it once was. 
God continues to move, 
Sometimes slow and sometimes we feel out of control. 
It overflows its boundaries at the water’s edge as the storm rages. 
Finding peace in the pieces, cuts on the razor’s edge. 
We hurt, we bleed, 
coming to the place where God says let go and let me. 
God has a perfect plan when my eyes can’t see. 
In blindness, I trust even when it’s hard, and I want to fix it. 
Can I trust, Will I trust, Will I let go, be brave in my broken heart? 
No blame, no shame. 

C.L. Weems 
She Found Peace In The Pieces
Chapter 10, page 36 

Many of the pieces of my story have been written down, tucked away in boxes, and filed in my memory. “She Found Peace in the Pieces” is the story of God’s love in the midst of life’s storms.

Have you ever found yourself in a broken place in your life? Or maybe you are living through one now? 

This prayer has helped me during the brokenness I have faced, receiving hope and love from the one who heals my broken heart. Please feel free to pray it for yourself or pass it on:

“I pray, Father, help me to be brave in my broken heart.
I know you have a perfect plan when my eyes can’t see.
I know you can and will work in my mess.
Turn my brokenness into treasures of love.
Quiet, the clatter of noise in my head,
so I can listen from my heart.” 
CL Weems

Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

In closing, I ask. Have you turned your brokenness into treasures of love? I would love to hear from you and hear how your story is unfolding. 

Take care,
