Prayer from Psalm 18: Rescued

 

Lord, things could not have been worse.

The waters of that unexpected conflict, of that bitter disappointment, of that painful loss were up to my neck.

Each time I went under, I cried out to you.

And you heard me.  You answered me.

You reached down and pulled me out of those waters–like a Coast Guard helicopter rescuing a desperate sailor, like a strong-armed father plucking out a drowning child.

Even more, you made the waters recede.  Today the deluge is no more than just a bad dream.

Thank you for coming to my rescue.
