Psalms 118:5

When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD; he brought me into a spacious place.

Explanation

The Hebrew word for "Distress" is "Metsar "(מֵצַר). It means to be in tight space, a narrow strait, feeling boxed in.

Inspiration

Are you feeling cornered? Is your back against the wall? Opposition can make us feel trapped, like we have no options.

Application for Today

Try a breath prayer today. Breathe in the name 'Jesus', out the name 'Christ', slowly 3 times. As you do so, invite the Lord to free you from the concern of confinement and bring you into a spacious place.

Prayer

Father God, Help me to become unstuck by the confinement and blocking in of others. Bring me into a spacious place. In Jesus' name, Amen.
