Have Mercy On Me!

Psalm 4:1 When I call out, answer me,O God who vindicates me!2Though I am hemmed in, you will lead me into a wide, open place.3Have mercy on me4 and respond to5 my prayer! (NET Bible)

Have you ever been in a place in your life that seemed impossible to get through. Or, have you ever felt like the whole world seems to be against you and there was nothing you could do to combat it? I know I have, a number of times. It's at those times that we need to really lean on God. We need to grab hold of His outstretched and waiting hand so that He can lead us through to far greater things.
When I've been in that place of utter darkness where I've known that there was absolutely nothing I could possibly do to help myself, that's what I found I had to do. Nothng. I had to allow God do the work. It's really hard to go through those times. I wish I never had to go through them and I wish that no one else ever had to go through them either. The thing is, though, that those are exactly the times that God finally has our attention. We have finally collapsed into His waiting embrace and He has, at long last, been able to do what He's been wanting to do all along; carry us to the place we need to be. Which is within His will. Then, we can minister to others.

Lord God I pray for my brothers and sisters who are in great physical, emotional, and spiritual pain today. I pray that they will look to You as their primary source of comfort and healing. Bless them and heal them and make them whole. In Jesus' name I pray. AMEN.

Remember that God is with you today. He loves you and will make a way for you even when there seems to be no way.

Be Blessed,

Christopher
