Abandoned

I can always find something in the book of Psalms that speaks to me. One of my favorite passages is Psalm 40:1-4.

I wait patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
and out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth
and a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
Lord, thank you for lifting me out of the pit!
Thank you for placing me on the solid rock!
Thank you for the new song you put in my heart every day!
Thank you for changing me!
I pray that many will enter the mystery of Your grace
and abandon themselves to You!
