DAY 11: Are you experiencing a very difficult situation in your life right now? Do you feel down? Lost? Broken? Before God's embracing presence, it is safe to be wounded and broken. God embraces you now in your wounds. He embraces you in your weakness and brokenness. Realize that the wounding of your soul is in itself a blessing to you: to provide room for God's mercy to penetrate deeper in all areas of your life. This Lent, come as you are and let God embrace you.
