Passage:
Psalm 107:1-9*
1. Give thanks to the
LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
2. Let the redeemed of the LORD
say this — those he redeemed from the hand of the
foe,
3. those he gathered from the
lands, from east and west, from north and
south.
4. Some wandered in desert
wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could
settle.
5. They were hungry and thirsty,
and their lives ebbed away.
6. Then they cried out to the
LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from
their distress.
7. He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.
8. Let them give thanks to the
LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds
for men,
9. for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.

Practical
help
Sometimes it's really
helpful to take a Psalm (or part of one) and read it
once for its contextual message, then read it again,
only this time weaving in your present circumstances
where they fit.
Try reading the verses from the
Psalm above and weave in your foe — possibly
porn's temptation — and weave in your desert
wastelands — maybe the vast Internet.
Now let verses 6 to 9 have their
effect on you.
The Lord has unfailing love for
you. He will lead you by a straight path out of that
wasteland. He will satisfy your thirst and fill your
hunger. And He will do it with good things.
