Leave it at the altar
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) I Resolve I resolve… To seek God daily, not just occasionally, To breathe His Word in rhythm, faithfully, relationally. I resolve… To trust His timing, not rush the plan, To wait with patience, resting in His hand. I resolve… To walk in obedience, though the path feels tight, To step through discomfort, still choosing what’s right. I resolve… To guard my mind, my heart, my soul, To keep His Spirit steady, making Him my goal....

Changing the Show Title: Broken and Believing - 50
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Brokenness in the Bible is not a curse but a doorway to grace: it teaches us humility, repentance, and dependence on God, opening the way for healing and transformation. • Brokenness as Humility and Repentance Psalm 51:17 declares, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” This shows that God values a heart that admits weakness and turns back to Him Bible Hub +1. • Brokenness Precedes Renewal The Bible often portrays brokenness as the moment before restoration.

BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Biblically, the sin of not resting is seen as disobedience to God’s rhythm of creation and a rejection of trust in His provision. It leads to spiritual dryness, societal injustice, and even exile.
