From Broken to Blessed

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Read: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31; 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  

After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

What personal weaknesses or past mistakes make you feel unworthy of being used by God? How does this passage challenge that perspective? Write down one way you can embrace God's power in your weakness today.

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Take some time to pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures.
3. Or pray this prayer...Father, thank You for choosing the weak and the broken to display Your glory. Help me to trust that You can use me despite my flaws. Transform my weaknesses into opportunities for Your strength to shine. Amen.
4. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.

Take Action: Write a short note of gratitude to God, thanking Him for a specific challenge or past mistake He has redeemed in your life. If you're still waiting for that redemption, pray with faith that He will use it for His glory.
