Read Psalm 69 here: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+69&version=NIV
This spoke to me:
Save me, O God,
for the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in the miry depths,
where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters;
the floods engulf me.
3 I am worn out calling for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,
looking for my God.
4 Those who hate me without reason
outnumber the hairs of my head;
many are my enemies without cause,
those who seek to destroy me.
I am forced to restore
what I did not steal.
You, God, know my folly;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
I thought I was going to get ahead this week and instead the technology failed me and I tried to do too much with the Children’s sermon. I worked longer hours to get the same thing done as usual even though we didn’t have any filming at church for worship this week. Satan fought hard. Yesterday it seemed like everyone wanted something from me. Now I have a plan but I’m still to be honest a little scared. Ironically the topic of what I’m trying to make happen is called Fear Not. I should just relax and let things happen.
Someday I will get there! I’m tired. And to be honest I put myself in the position I’m in. I have no one to blame.
Then these words come in:
But I pray to you, Lord,
in the time of your favor;
in your great love, O God,
answer me with your sure salvation.
14 Rescue me from the mire,
do not let me sink;
I haven’t had as much quality prayer time and day 2 of vbs is all about prayer and worship helps us to fear not. It will all get figured out eventually. One way or another.
Take time for prayer. Know that God won’t let you sink. Even when the worst happens like it did for Daniel in the lions den, Shadrack, Meshack, and Abendigo in the firey furnace they survived and thrived. The same will be true for us.
God bless!
