10 Bible Verses For The Broken
Keith Brown

As the seasonal blues begin to pass, we may feel broken. New Year's resolutions are being made and some have probably already been broken, leading us to feel more and more unworthy and depressed. This feeling of unworthiness is debilitating at times but there is a cure. By turning to God and His word we can see the healing and acceptance that comes from His grace and love. When we are not enough, God accepts and loves us anyways, fulfilling all the things we aren't and putting all of our broken pieces back together. There is so much hope in God's word!

1. Psalm 30:2

When we feel broken, all we have to do is cry out to our Lord and He will heal us and put us back together again.

2. Joshua 1:8

Life is often too overwhelming, but by focusing on God's word and doing as it says, we can become happy and successful once more.

3. Jeremiah 17:14

God is more powerful than any earthly power. When we look to God for healing and salvation He will not disappoint.

4. Proverbs 17:22

When we are sad and our spirits crushed, we must ask God to make our hearts joyful in order to disperse the sadness.

5. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Even when we are broken we can praise God. He will bring us joy and for that, we can be thankful. Even if life is not going the way we had hoped, we can still praise Him for His blessings.

6. John 10:10

The world only steals our joy, kills our hope, and destroys our freedom. God gives us a rich and satisfying life. The world will not heal us, only God can do so.

7. Isaiah 25:8

When lief gets us down, God does not stop fighting for us. He "wipes away our tears" and removes the things of this world that seek to hurt us. God "swallows up death forever." How cool is that!?

8. 2 Corinthians 5:17

When God heals us, he not only fixes what is already there, He also makes us completely new. He takes away our sins and doesn't just cover them up. "The old has gone, the new is here!"

9. Matthew 11:28

Our brokenness makes us wearied and burdens us with its weight. Our shortcomings often feel too big to carry, but we can take consolation, knowing God is big enough to carry all of our troubles.

10. Matthew 19:26

It may seem at times like the sadness and brokenness will never end, and maybe by earthly standards they never will, but with God all things are possible, even healing a broken soul.


So when you feel like you are permanently broken or sad, know that God alone can heal you because He loves you and will do so forever. Turn to God and ask Him to heal you and give you joy. You don't have to stay broken. God can fix you.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
