Have you ever sat at the edge of your bed, tears soaking your pillow, wondering if the pieces of your life could ever fit back together?
I have. And I want you to know this: you’re not alone. Life has a way of throwing unexpected punches—a sudden loss, a broken relationship, a health scare, or simply the crushing weight of being “strong” for everyone else.
We don’t always see the breakdown coming. But when it hits, it can feel like everything is crumbling beneath us. In those moments, it’s easy to believe we’re forgotten, unloved, or too broken to be made whole again. But, oh friend, that’s when God leans in closest.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18
This post is for every woman who has ever felt shattered. You don’t need to have it all together to come to Jesus. In fact, it’s in our brokenness that we find His strength the most.
Brokenness Isn’t the End, It’s the Beginning of Healing
A few years ago, a friend went through a season that brought me to my knees. she had just lost someone she deeply loved, and on top of that, she felt like she was failing in every other area, her job, faith, even her identity as a woman of God. She would wake up in the morning with no strength to even whisper a prayer.
But one night, she remember sitting on the floor of my living room, completely undone. she didn’t have eloquent words, just tears and a broken lips as she said “God, help me.” And you know what? He did. Not all at once, but slowly, lovingly, and faithfully.
Brokenness often feels like the end of the road. But in God’s hands, it’s the beginning of something beautiful. Like clay in the Potter’s hand, He sometimes allows us to be reshaped. He breaks what needs to be rebuilt so we can reflect His image more clearly.
“So she went down to the potter’s house, and saw Him working at the wheel… ‘Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand,’ declares the Lord.” – Jeremiah 18:3,6
If you’re feeling like your life is in pieces, take heart. Those pieces are not trash. They are materials in the hands of a Master Builder.
Letting God Carry What You Can’t
Too many of us are taught to smile through the pain, to press on, to not be a burden. So we carry and carry, until our backs are bowed under the weight of silent suffering. But God never asked us to carry life on our own. He invites us to lay it all down.
I remember a season where I was carrying the pain of rejection from someone I had poured so much into. I tried to keep going, pretending everything was fine, even at church. But inside, I was angry, bitter, and tired. It wasn’t until I had a quiet moment alone with God that I finally said, “I can’t do this anymore. Take it. Please.”
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
There is a sacred freedom in surrender. God never meant for you to carry grief, shame, guilt, or fear on your shoulders. His arms are strong enough for all of it. Lay it at His feet. Let Him hold what you were never meant to.
If all you can say today is, “Help me, Jesus,” then say it. That’s more than enough.
God Holds the Missing Pieces
It’s easy to trust God when life makes sense. But when things are missing—a lost child, an unanswered prayer, a dream that never bloomed—trust becomes harder, doesn’t it? But here’s the truth: just because something is missing doesn’t mean God isn’t working.
One woman I walked with had lost her husband unexpectedly. She told me, “I feel like half of me is gone.” And yet, over time, through weeping, prayer, and the gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit, she began to sense God filling in the gaps. Not replacing what was lost, but healing it. Holding it.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…” – Romans 8:28
God doesn’t just glue us back together. He creates something altogether new. The Japanese art of Kintsugi (repairing broken pottery) takes broken pottery and mends it with gold, making it more valuable than before. That’s what God does with you.
Yes, life may have left you with some pieces missing, but God holds every one. Nothing is lost in Him.
Your Pain Has a Purpose
Pain changes you. But it doesn’t have to destroy you. With God, pain becomes a platform for purpose. What the enemy meant to use against you, God will use to strengthen you.
I once sat with a woman who had survived abuse and spent years in silence. She thought she was too broken to be used by God. Today? She walks with women just like her. Her pain became her purpose. Her tears watered seeds of healing in others.
“Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him.” – Job 13:15 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good…” – Genesis 50:20
Your scars tell a story—not of defeat, but of survival. Of redemption. Of God’s goodness. Don’t be ashamed of what you’ve walked through. That very thing may be the door to someone else’s freedom.
So lift your head, daughter. There’s purpose in your pain, and glory on the other side.
A Heartfelt Invitation to Come Home
Sweet friend, if your heart is heavy, your tears still fresh, and your faith feeling fragile—take a deep breath. Jesus is right there with you. Even now. He knows every shattered piece and every silent prayer. And He’s not asking you to fix it. He’s asking you to trust Him.
This moment could be your turning point. A holy pause. A quiet whisper back to your Savior:
“Jesus, I give You the broken pieces of my life. Make something beautiful out of it. I want to come back to You. I want to be held by You. I trust You.”
If you prayed that, even silently, welcome home. You’re not alone anymore. You never were.
Let’s Walk Together
If something in your heart is stirring right now, don’t rush past it. Healing isn’t a solo journey. And faith isn’t meant to grow in isolation. We need each other.
Our community is a space where women come not to be fixed, but to be loved. To be seen. To grow. We cry together, laugh together, and point each other back to Jesus again and again.
There are moments when you’ll feel strong, and others when you’ll need someone to hold you up. And that’s okay. That’s what we’re here for.
So if you’re longing to go deeper, to ask hard questions, to rediscover your identity, or to simply feel less alone—you are warmly invited. No pressure. Just a place to breathe, belong, and believe again.
We’re waiting for you, sister.
