How to Deal With Issues and Brokenness

Everyone faces brokenness at some point, and we all have issues and trials. Including you.

Brokenness is a time of pain and sorrow. You may feel so damaged you can’t function normally, and getting through the day becomes a struggle. Perhaps you have given up or fallen into despair.

But, take heart, because there is hope. Others have experienced what you are facing and made it through. There are people who can help, and steps you can take to find wellness.

And understand that when brokenness challenges your self-sufficiency, it may lead you to finally acknowledge you can’t get through on your own. Hopefully, you call out to God, perhaps more deeply than you have ever done before. When that happens, brokenness can be a good thing.
