Ever feel like you're one step away from falling deep into a pit? We often question every decision we've ever made, and the ones we are making even now.

But when she looks down her foot starts to slip, her legs wobble, and she's one second away from falling.
She falls, but a cushion below catches her, bounces her back up.
When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O Lord, supported me.

May our eyes not fall...may they be steady and balanced on Him.
How gracious God will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.
Isaiah 30:19
