26
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: verses one through two from the King James's version. I

27
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me

28
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: and heard my cry. He brought me up also out

29
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and

30
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

31
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: Take a moment to pour out your adoration to Christ Jesus.

32
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I praise you for you hear my cries and you

33
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: answer me. You remove me from the pit of despair,

34
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: and you set my feet on solid ground. I worship

35
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: you for in your presence there is healing. I praise

36
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: you for you are merciful, gracious and kind. By your love,

37
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: you restore my soul and renew my mind. Depression can

38
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: trap the soul in a deep pit. It will take

39
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: away your peace, your joy, and your desire for life.

40
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: They will remove stability and make you feel as if

41
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: you are constantly stuck. That is not the life God

42
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: created for you. God wants to bless you and not

43
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: to harm you. He wants to give you hope and

44
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: a future. He wants to establish your plans and to

45
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: prosper you. He wants to see you thriving in the

46
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: fullness of the words He has spoken over you. If

47
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: you find yourself stuck in a pit, do not despair.

48
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Cry out to God. Confess to him your worries and

49
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: your fears. Tell him of what troubles your heart and

50
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: saddens your spirit. Take just a few minutes to thank

51
