I’ve been shattered. Broken into a million pieces by life’s unexpected blows. It hurt like hell, and honestly, some days I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to put myself back together. But you know what? Those jagged edges, those cracks in my soul, they’re not a sign of weakness. They’re proof that I survived. And in the process of piecing myself back together, I discovered a strength I never knew I had. It’s in those cracks that the light gets in, right? They make me who I am.

You might be feeling broken right now. Lost, maybe even hopeless. But trust me, you are not defined by the things that have tried to break you. See those scars, those fragments? They are evidence of your resilience. Don’t shy away from them. Own them. Let them remind you that you have faced the darkness and emerged stronger on the other side. You are not just whole again, you are so much more than you were before.

Dear Universe, grant us the courage to face our brokenness. Help us to find the strength to pick up the pieces and create something beautiful, something resilient. Remind us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. Guide us towards the light, and help us to see the incredible strength that lies within each and every one of us. Amen.
