Sunday quote
I sink in deep mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood sweeps over me.
I am weary with my crying;
my throat is parched.
My eyes grow dim
with waiting for my God.
Psalm 69: 2-3

You quote Psalm 69:2-3. Verse 2 talks of sinking in the mire and being swept up in the flood. Verses 14 and 15 talk of rescuing me from sinking in the mire and being swept up in the flood. The psalmist is not resigned to her plight – she pleads for help. She trusts in God to help her. Although the situation is dire, it is not without hope.
