I was having a really rough time last week and I found myself curled in a ball on my couch, alone and sobbing. My throat was sore, my eyes swollen and my whole body exhausted. I had been crying to God about my predicament for hours and searching for some sort of guidance. I was feeling pretty dejected (causing me to cry more) when I decided to search my bible for help, I literally searched the word “help” what I found instantly was Psalm 69. I read the whole Psalm and I felt like David was directly describing my predicament and feelings.
This is the first 3 verses. You can see how it was describing my situation.
Save me, O God,
for the floodwaters are up to my neck.
Deeper and deeper I sink into the mire;
I can’t find a foothold.
I am in deep water,
and the floods overwhelm me.
I am exhausted from crying for help;
my throat is parched.
My eyes are swollen with weeping,
waiting for my God to help me.
Throughout the chapter as David went through a change so do I and I was encouraged greatly by its conclusion. Verses 32, 33
The humble will see their God at work and be glad.
Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.
For the Lord hears the cries of the needy;
he does not despise his imprisoned people
I found great comfort in this and was able to sleep soundly for the first time that week. Thankyou, Lord :)
P.S. I’ll post the whole chapter next :)
