Secondly, we are promised that God will do four things in us: restore, confirm, strengthen and establish. Here are what these words mean in the Greek:

• Restore: to complete thoroughly; to repair or adjust.
• Confirm, or secure: to set fast; to turn resolutely in a certain direction.
• Strengthen: to make strong so as to be mobile; to move something that achieves something in the most effective way.
• Establish: to lay the foundation of.

Before attempting to steer what’s broken in the direction you want it to go, welcome God into your situation. Trust that, with Him, you can travel through life’s detours, diseases, delays and disappointments because He is on the journey with you, actively guiding you towards His plans for you. So take heart, my friend … your brokenness has an end.



Dear God, thank You for navigating this journey with me. I anticipate the restoration You’ve already planned out for me, and I will trust You with everything I go through. You are the God of all grace, my peace and my protector. Into Your hands I place my broken pieces, and I await the beauty You will create. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
