Psalm 40:2  ² He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

Sometimes we get ourselves in so deep into a bad habit, a bad situation or bad thinking that we get stuck. We cannot move. We cannot think clearly. We feel like we will never get out.

God is there, reaching down, ready to pull us out. His hand is right there…grab for it. We don’t have to stay stuck in the mire. No matter how hopeless, how difficult, how desperate our situation God can provide a way out. He will not judge us. He will not condemn us. He will not punish us. He will simply love us and lead us onto the firm, secure path of a close relationship with him.

We no longer need to go it alone. We can be secure in God’s loving arms.

Lord, when we are stuck, pull us out. Save us from those attitudes, situations, and relationships that harm us and lead us onto your path of salvation. Amen.
