Psalm 40:1-3 (Contemporary English Version) I patiently waited, LORD, for you to hear my prayer. You listened and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire. You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm, and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honor and trust you, the LORD God.
There is a song by Phillips, Craig and Dean which tells us that there is nothing we have done that God cannot forgive when we ask. Our problem is that we do not ask. We push that sin down in to the back of our mind think that it is just too bad. We become swallowed up in this mud pit, hiding that sin. It remains there just eating away on us because we cannot forgive our self so we remain there stuck in the mud. God loves you and wants to forgive you of that sin. Repent, ask for forgiveness, and then forgive yourself.
“I've heard His love is patient, That He always hears a prayer And that His love will follow you Despite the miles My best years of life I wasted Why would He even really care What have I to give That He would find worthwhile you see I just wanna know Tell me how far will He go Will He still reach for me Inspite of who I am Let me tell you
He'll do whatever, whatever it takes His grace reaches lower than your worst mistakes And His love will run farther Than you can run away, my friend He'll do whatever, whatever it takes He'll do whatever it takes” (Phillips, Craig and Dean)
