Lord ~

When You allow something that breaks my heart,

I want You to stop the pain:

The Providence You deemed fitting to be

Or my feeling-ability–

Or both. And a promise of never again

To assuage what’s hard.

But that’s not what would let Your glory shine through,

And that’s not what would let others know the real me.

And that’s not what would allow me to better know You.

And that’s not what would help to mend what’s been frayed.

So, show me how this heartbreak’s a gift.

Please help me trust You’ll bring Your best through it.
