I waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire (Psalm 40:1-2, NIV).
Earlier this week, one of my children wept so bitterly. It made me feel helpless. My focus was to help the child move past blues although I was sad. I was troubled, praying within but trying to “fix” but there was one person who was on his bed praying for his child. Within hours, God did turn to us….He heard our cry and God intervened in the most impossible way in our life once again.
When dealing with pain, troubles in life we have several choices of reaction, we could become bitter, blame someone or ourselves, have self-hatred moments, simply deny the existence of such a trouble OR simply trust God believing that He will work in favour of us. Remember when we trust God, we are saying “not my will but Yours be done” which means we must accept whatever God has in store for us for that situation!
Regardless of the depth or gravity of our problems, remember God is with us. He might be using our problems to teach us to Hope in Him, to understand His power, to feel His comforting hand, to understand His healing hand. After all, He refines us all to be pure as gold!!
Let us pray with confidence that He will turn to us,to our cries and draw us out of the pit..out of every mud and mire we are in!!
