This is part of a sermon I preached. I hope it brings you blessings!
When we are broken, we always want a solution and that's okay! However, most of the solutions that we think of or are given to us cause more problems and brokenness. Therefore, one must look at the Remedy of Brokenness from God's angle, which is: 1. There must be a Relationship with God 2. There must be a Reliance on God 3. There must be a Realization that: a. God Cares; b. God is in Control; c. God Can.
Although not a BONE of our Lord was broken, when the Lord was crucified and bore our sins in His body, the Bible describes His body as being broken.
Our Lord was broken, but through His brokenness, the greatest blessing of them all - SALVATION, was made availabe for you and me.
One for the girls Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my shape to keep. Please no wrinkles, Please no bags And please lift my butt before it sags. Please no age spots, Please no gray And as for my belly, Please take it away . Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young, And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you've done.

RAINBOWS If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you. And share with you it's beauty On the days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own. A place to find serenity A place to be alone. If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea. But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me, I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be...what I know best, a friend that's always there.
