"A Heart Seeking Truth"

Psalm 51:17
New International Version
 
17 My sacrifice, O God, is[a] a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.
 
We can all feel like our heart is broken at times. These are the moments when the book of Psalms becomes a great comfort to us, offering us a language for our own pain and brokenness. Whether it’s a form of injustice we experienced personally, continuous suffering we see happening on the other side of the world, or lament over our own sin, we can feel broken and humbled to the point of hopelessness. But Psalm 51 reminds us of the hope we have in Jesus when we submit our requests and hearts to the Lord. Christ never promised an easy life but He does promise His presence and help as we walk through trials. God will never reject a heart seeking truth, a humble spirit looking for answers, and a repentant heart in need of
forgiveness.
