Lord, as we read this plea of David for deliverance from the pit and sinking into the mire, it reminds us of our own struggles and prayers for release from the deep waters that overtake us. We know from Your promises that You stand in the raging currents around us and in the fiery trials that encompass us. We will not be overcome by the waters, nor will we be burned, not even singed by the flames.
You will deliver us in the multitude of your mercy. Yours is not a ‘gee I’m sorry’ mercy, but a rescuing, reviving, restoring and redeeming mercy. We praise You for the mercy You show us daily as we go through our routines. Your mercy allows us to lie in rest at night, knowing the truth of Your salvation. We bring our praise and thanksgiving in the Your name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“But as for me, my prayer is to You, O LORD, in the acceptable time; O God, in the multitude of Your mercy, Hear me in the truth of Your salvation.” (Psalms 69:13 NKJV)
