In Deep Waters?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who struggle to stay afloat in deep waters. In Jesus name, amen.
Ever been in deep water? If a person is not a swimmer, deep water can mean deep trouble.
Being in an ocean or a pool and being unable to touch bottom can be harrowing.
Along with the psalmist, David, in Psalm 69:1-3 (ESV) follow the metaphor, and visualize how he is about to overwhelmed by deep waters (i.e. the enemies and forces aligned against him).
“Save me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in deep mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood sweeps over me.
I am weary with my crying out;
my throat is parched.
My eyes grow dim
with waiting for my God.”
Drowning in a crisis? Seemingly without help? Impossible to stay afloat? God can save you. Trust him to do so. Do like David did. Cry out, “Save me, O God!”
