Out of the Pit: The Power of Waiting on God – Psalm 40

The Bible

Feeling stuck in life’s miry clay? In this soul-stirring episode, we dive into the timeless truth of Psalm 40, where David cries out, “I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.”

If you’re battling financial pressure, relationship struggles, chronic illness, mental fatigue, or emotional isolation—this message is for you. With heartfelt teaching and passionate prayer, we explore what it means to wait patiently on God when you feel buried by life’s burdens. You'll hear that God not only hears your cry—He responds, lifting you from the mud and placing your feet on solid ground.

We don’t stop at the surface. This episode draws a powerful contrast between religion and relationship, reminding us that what we need isn’t more routine—it’s more of Jesus. The Spirit of God, promised in John 14, is our Comforter, Counselor, and constant companion, even in our loneliest moments.

Whether you're sitting in traffic, walking through grief, or wiping away tears in secret, this message delivers a clear and compassionate truth: God is with you. He sees you. He will not leave you in the pit.

The episode concludes with a deeply personal communion moment, reminding listeners that Jesus is present wherever you are—even “33,000 feet in the heavens.” It's not about location or tradition—it’s about a living, breathing relationship with Christ through the Holy Spirit.
