Much of today’s devotion from “Jesus Calling” really resonated with me. It talked about being in a state of depression and in the darkness. I feel like I have felt that way for quite some time until that past few months. The reflection is from Jesus’ standpoint as He says,

“Your only hope is to look up and see the Light of My Presence shining down on you. Though the Light looks dim from your perspective, deep in the pit, those rays of hope can reach you at any depth. … I will pull you out into the Light again.”

That describes exactly how I felt. I seemed to be in a deep, dark pit of despair, worry, fear, and anxiety. Eventually I noticed I could see a little light. As I continued to move toward that light, I continued to feel better, happier, more alive, hopeful and peaceful. I am grateful for all the people who helped me, extending Jesus’ hand to draw me out of that hole. I can very much empathize with those who are in the pit, pray for them, and help when and how I can.

I Found God today realizing how He has pulled me out of the pit.
