Hi there,

So, have any of you ever prayed for brokenness? Just wondering. I know that many times we find ourselves in a place of brokenness through events in our lives, or emotions that attack us, or any number of reasons. Death in the family, unrepentent friends, etc. I think it can be fairly stated that most times we don't like getting to the broken part, but that we do learn from it, and grow in our faith after He restores us.

But have you ever, when things are just going along smoothly, prayed for God to break you? Crazy thought, I know. Trust me, I am not lightly recommending it either, because this is a prayer that always ( at least for me) seems to be answered precisely how it is prayed. I used to not recommend this at all, for knowing just how low we have to be brought to really be broken. But then I remembered the growth that came of it. Then I remembered the trust I learned to give to my Lord through it. Then I remembered the pride that was revealed to me in my life, of which I was formerly clueless.

I am wondering what you guys think... should we pray for brokenness? Can you think of some of the pros to doing this? What does the Bible say our attitude should be towards God, and does being broken help bring us there? Is it worth a little suffering to come closer to Christ, and His love?

If I've found any favor from any of you, I would like to cash it in now. Please take some time, some focused time, and consider this video. Thank you!
