John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
There are situations that we can’t fix. God alone has the power to fix that which is broken in life.
There's no use worrying over it, letting it consume and control our lives — our peace.
The best we can do is learn to bring it to the Lord, stand in His strength, and watch Him work it out.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Pick up the broken pieces and bring them to the Lord.

“Have you failed in life's battle — To accomplish your plans? — Is your heart heavy laden? — Do you fear the Lord's command? — Do you feel that no one loves you — And there's no use to try? — Just bring your cares to Jesus, Your soul He'll satisfy.
Chorus:
“Pick up the broken pieces — And bring them to the Lord; — Pick up the broken pieces, — Trust in His holy Word; — He will put them back together — And make your life complete. — Just place the broken pieces — At the Saviour's feet.
“You may feel that there's no hope — Broken hearts just cannot mend; — Though you're torn in many pieces, — Christ can make you whole again; — Storms of doubt blow all directions, — But don't you be afraid. — God can make all corrections, — He made a body out of clay.”
