Eloquently Speaking, have you every been gracefully broken?  If so what did you do?  How did you respond?  Did you run away from God or did you run to God? pause and think about that!  When you were gracefully broken what was the posture of your heart?  Did you heart convince you to run away from hide from God?  OR did you heart convince you to run to God and stand accountable for your actions......and ask God to help you?  Did you cry out have mercy on me O God?  In Psalm 51 David stood accountabile for his actions and he understood the root issues of his bring gracefully broken and he repented of his sins and asked God to have mercy on him!   Psalm 51:1- Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness and guilt And cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them; My sin is always before me. 4  Against You, You only, have I sinned And done that which is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak [Your sentence] And faultless in Your judgment.
