It has been proven that when a person finds themselves in quicksand, the more they fight, the deeper they sink. The usual tips to escape are to make yourself lighter by dropping everything you are holding, find someone or something to grab onto and remain calm.
None of this has been possible for you. You have not been able to remain calm because your life has become like quicksand. The problems have slowly been pulling you down. You feel heavy because of deep depression and loneliness. And it seems like there is nothing that can help you. The more you try to escape your problems, the deeper you sink. But there is help for you. God’s powerful hand reaches out to you right now.
“The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.” Psalms 9:9
This word is for you who are in a time of trouble. God is your refuge! When you reach out to Him, He takes away your heavy burdens. He takes away the depression, sickness, loneliness, defeat and brings you to safety.
May the God of the Bible bless you,
Bishop Bira Joshua
