Psalms 69:3 (KJV)
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
This Psalm is attributable to Christ due to Psalms 69:21 (KJV)
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
One may read the entire Psalm and picture our Saviour.
In no way does this negate personal applications.
Notice the depth of the sorrow of the writer. He uses water to picture the overwhelming nature of his troubles. He feels like he is drowning. There is no way out. There is nothing he can do to save himself.
Ever feel that way?
Sure you have. We all have.
Psalms 69:13 (KJV)
But 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.
When we feel like drowning, we can’t imagine anyone else drowning beside us.
I want to assure you others have gone through the same troubles and come out. Others will go through the same troubles and come out. You will come out.
When you’re drowning, it feels useless to cry out, but it’s the natural thing to do.
- Pray to the Lord
- Pray even when it feels useless
You’ll see. God will deliver you out of the deep waters.
