God Might Just Need to Break You
God often allows brokenness and trials as part of His divine plan to shape and mold you. If He intends to use you for great purposes, He will first strip away your pride, self-reliance, and illusions of strength. In your brokenness, you learn humility, dependence on God, and a deeper understanding of His grace. It's through these painful seasons that God prepares you for something greater, not by building you up with worldly success, but by refining your character through hardship.
This breaking process is never easy, but it is necessary. God brings you low so that He can lift you up according to His purpose, not your own. When you are broken, you are in the perfect position to be used by God, because you realize that it is His strength, not yours, that brings about greatness. Trust that through the breaking, God is preparing you for something far beyond what you could achieve on your own.
