Sinking in the Mire?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who feel like they are sinking in the mire. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever felt like you are sinking? Sinking deep into the mire? Some people find themselves in circumstances that seem hopeless.
Don Moen wrote a song, “God Will Make a Way.” The words are as follows:
“God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me”
David, the psalmist, asks God to make a way for him in Psalm 69:13-15 (ESV):
“But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.
Deliver me
from sinking in the mire;
let me be delivered from my enemies
and from the deep waters.
Let not the flood sweep over me,
or the deep swallow me up,
or the pit close its mouth over me.”
David is praising God by the end of the psalm. Feel like all is lost? Stop.
Take a moment. Pray. Praise God for his provision.
