Lots of us feel stuck in a pretty bad place.
It doesn’t seem like there is any way out.
It feels like no matter how hard we try, it’s like quicksand that might swallow us up.
It feels lonely and even black there, like a pit so deep that even if we climb and climb, we would slide back down into the darkness.
We might have jumped into this “pit” because of our own unwise decisions.
Perhaps we have been pushed in by someone else’s unkindness, even cruelty.
It could be overwhelming circumstances that aren’t going the way we think they should or hope they would.
It’s probably some odd combination of the three.
No matter what, we are in a very deep pit, longing to get out.
In those seemingly endless and desperate moments, the only sure thing is that we are not going to be able to climb out on our own, no matter how hard we try.
We may even wonder if we are in a hole so deep that we are beyond rescue. It feels hopeless.
THIS IS JUST NOT TRUE. It’s just not true at all.
There is great hope.
We are not alone.
We are loved.
We are never “in too deep” that God cannot rescue us. This goes for all those we love as well.
The son who is on the is suffering panic attacks.
The spouse who is enslaved by addiction.
The friend who is fighting a debilitating disease.
The person in the mirror who is not sure if God listens anymore.
No matter if the pit has been jumped, slipped or been pushed into.
The God who hears our cries and loves us beyond measure is right there in the midst of it.
His fierce love will make a way out.
He will come to the rescue.
None of us are ever beyond His reach.
We can rest in that safest of places today.
From my heart to yours.
The Dolly Mama 
Boy did I ever need to hear that today! Thank you for these words of hope.
