For Those in a Pit...

"I waited patiently for the LORD; 
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, 
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the LORD.

Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after a lie!...

... May all who seek you,
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation 
say continually, "Great is the LORD!"
As for me, I am poor and needy,
but the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God!"

(Excerpts from Psalm 40)

As I was meditating on this passage yesterday morning, the Lord brought to mind some loved ones of mine who are in a spiritual pit.  May you find healing in His Word and comfort in His care.
