I Am Broken For You

I Am Broken For You is an unedited prayer-poem I wrote in just five minutes. I hope this prayer-poem inspires you today.

Today’s post is based on the prompt for Five Minute Friday. Today’s prompt is “Broken,” and here is my prayer/poem.

I Am Broken For You

Father God,

I am broken for you

like the vessel

cracked open

by Mary’s hands

holding the sweet

perfume to anoint

you with honor.

 

My life has been broken

in so many ways

as you know

so much better

than I do.

Cracks and fissures

you ordained

to make me stronger

than if I had remained

untouched.

 

Broken and poured out

before you

on display

yet not exposed

for your criticism

and condemnation

but offered

as a living sacrifice.

 

What a miracle

you proclaim me

your masterpiece

even with my scars.

 

Today in my struggles

remind me while

I climb up on the altar

to subject myself

again

to the refining fires

that you bring beauty

from ashes

and are with me

even in the fire

and that you

made yourself

broken for me.
