From Brokenness to Breakthrough: Finding My Way to God” I want to Open up with Scripture: Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” My brothers and sisters, I stand before you today as someone who has walked through the valleys of darkness, someone who has searched for love, for peace, for worth, in all the wrong places. I have fought battles that no one saw. I have carried burdens that seemed too heavy to bear. And I know that many of you have been there too—wrestling with addiction, facing separation from your loved ones, feeling abandoned, feeling unworthy of love, even feeling unworthy of God’s grace.
