mud and mire

Psalm 40:1-3
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.

a few weeks ago i was running on shaky faith.
i kept waiting and praying for God to restore my faith
i once had when i was first saved.
i felt like i was sinking into a muddy pit...
because without faith,
that is where i go.

once i finally realized that i cant do anything on my own
and i gave up control-
he heard my cry for help and
GAVE me knowledge that He HAS to be the
center of everything.

i started to try to walk without Him-
tried to do things on my own strength-
not even on purpose,
just because that is subconsciously how my mind worked.

i only hope that many will see what He has done in my life,
and they will turn to God also.

i pray for the lost everyday.
because i know so well what it feels like
to be all alone.

i am never alone now.
never!
i am attached and connected to God

He heard my cry for help
and lifted me out of
the mud.

just like an earthquake can crack and shake and shift-
so can our faith...

but it is up to us to keep Jesus the Center of Everything...
the alloy that is in the center of the earth,
also has to be in the center of our souls.

HE HAS SET MY FEET ON SOLID GROUND-
AND THOUGH I MIGHT SHAKE-
I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED.
