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; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God (Psalm 40:1-3). At some point in life, we all will face some kind of pit. It may be a pit that we have dug with our own hands of wrong choices, or it could be a pit that has been uniquely designed for us by the enemy. But a pit is a pit – a place of paralyzing fear and numbing doubt that is constantly fed by our human frailty and desperate attempts to escape the darkness. Pits can bring life to a screeching halt, demanding that we change our perspective of living and examine our priorities in light of that new perspective. 1 Peter 1:6 Pits make us face and admit our weaknesses and come to the conclusion that we cannot live life in our own strength. 2 Corinthians 12:10. Pits can strengthen our faith if we allow them to. 2 Corinthians 12:9. Lord, I cannot deal with the darkness and climb out of this pit in my own strength. I recognize my human frailty. I am desperate without You and I choose to trust You and rest in Your sufficiency. Make me more like Jesus and teach me the truths You have for me in this pit. In Jesus’ name Amen
