Psalm 69 Verses 1-3

¹ 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.

There are times when everything seems to be going wrong. Nothing you try works. Things just keep going wrong. You pray and nothing changes. God doesn’t seem to hear.You pray some more….and still nothing. You have begged God for some help and no help is in view. It seems that God has deserted you.

God is there. Your cry has been heard. God is answering. The answer may not be the one we want. But God hears and acknowledges our prayer. Things will change for God loves us and knows what we need before we ask. Rest in that promise.

Prayer: “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” You seem to have deserted me. I feel so alone. Help me Lord to know that you are near. Calm my fears. Bring me your peace. AMEN
