BROKEN

PSALM 51:17 (NLT)
The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.


LUKE 15:21 (CEV)
The son said, “Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son.”

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God forgives us when we come to him with remorse.

PRAYER
Healer God, thank you for receiving broken people into your presence. I confess that I'm broken -- but I'm reluctant to acknowledge the extent of my brokenness. Help me move toward you with complete honesty, remorse, and humility. I'm going to take advantage of your freely-given forgiveness. Amen.
