Day 213 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 30-31, Romans 15:1-22, Psalm 25:1-15 and Proverb 20:13-15 
When you're stuck, where do you look for help? Do you talk to everyone who will listen? Do you complain to your parents, spouse, kids, and friends? The psalmist had it right: our dependence, our source of release is in God alone. Trying to get sympathy or advice from people may help to some degree, but ultimately only the Lord can spring our feet from the traps we find ourselves in.
"My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pluck my feet out of the net." – Psalm 25:15 (English Standard Version)
"Too often, Father God, I find myself stuck, caught in one of Satan's snares, trying to pull me down. I acknowledge my helplessness in those situations. Today I affirm that, like the psalmist, my eyes are focused on you. Only you, through the Holy Spirit, can set me free. I'm counting on it. In Jesus' name, Amen."
