Healing in Brokenness

The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. —Psalm 51:17 (NLT)

The Way We Approach God

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise. —Psalm 51:10-17 (NIV)

The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. —Psalm 51:17 (NLT)

instead of a spirit of despair.
