The Pits

"The Pits" By Diane Webb

Psalms 40: 2—"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."

Turn it all over to God and he will pull you up out of your terrible circumstances and get you going in the right direction—on firm, solid ground. Only God can do this for you. No one else can save you from this world, the situations, or from yourself. You have to reach up and grasp his hand. Hold on tight and never let go. He is the only one who can deliver you. Put your faith in nothing else or no one else. He will make your way safe. No matter how long you have been in the pit, no matter how far you have sunk in the clay, he will pull you out. All you have to do is ask and submit to his hand. Once out just listen for his guidance and he will direct your affairs. Look up to heaven for all your answers. You do not have to worry or get stressed about what to do or how to do it. Let God guide your feet, your words, your thoughts, and your actions. This is the way out of the pit.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for your help and guidance. Thank you for delivering me from the pit and the clay. I gladly take your hand and follow you wherever you lead me. I seek your guidance and your direction. I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
