When life has overtaken me, and I don't feel like there's any way to get out, we can pray to God for the rescue. In a mire, all your efforts come to nothing as your feet get stuck, and only someone else can get you out. Meditation on Psalm 69:13-15 by Pastor Lars Hammar of Lord of Grace Lutheran Church in Marana, Arizona.
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer me. With your faithful help
14 rescue me from sinking in the mire; let me be delivered from my enemies and from the deep waters.
15 Do not let the flood sweep over me, or the deep swallow me up, or the Pit close its mouth over me.
Psalm 69:13-15
