Psalm69:13-18
13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 16Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. 18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
When I am in distress and don't know where to turn or who to speak to, this is where I will go. The Lord will deliver me out of the hands of my enemies and will not allow me to drown in despair. Sometimes the enemies here aren't only speaking of people. In my case it is things that I have or have not done that will begin to pull me down and start telling me that I'm not worth saving. But I know that God is merciful to all who seek His face. He is my strength and my strong tower, and he will not abandon me, even when I feel alone. He will lift me up if I seek Him.
