Did you ever have one of those days where _______? Fill in the blank with whatever you like, because all of us have had “one of those days.” These are days where all the things happening to us are almost to much for us to bear. Like Peter, when the wind becomes boisterous, we begin to sink. David may have been sinking lower and lower, nut God was right there controlling everything. And David poured out his heart to the Lord in Psalm 69, saying. “Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.” (Psalm 69:1-2).
Are you drowning in the circumstances you find yourself in? Here is what to do.
First, cry out to God for help (verse 1). He knows every circumstance we will go through. He is the only one who can help.
Second, if you think that you caused your own problem here, then you probably did: confess it to God (verse 5).
Third, pray that you are not a stumbling block for others. Verse 6 says: “Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.”
If you find yourself in the mire, in deep water, call upon the Lord to save you. And He will.
Peace. (Psalm 34:14).
