TRUSTING GOD'S RESCUE

If you are in quicksand, it is best to relax, because frantic movements will agitate the quicksand and pull you down faster. Lay back and breathe deeply. Filling your lungs with air will make you more buoyant than the quicksand.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

The difficulties of life can grip us and make us feel that we are going under. A natural tendency is to struggle frantically to get out, but that can make the situation worse. Trusting in God lifts us up.
