No matter how big your mess, God can make it beautiful. But you have a part to play in this story. First, when you're in your mess, stop and remember the Lord. Turn to Him. And then be thankful and praise Him from your pit.

"'When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple... But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, "Salvation comes from the Lord."'" (Jonah 2:7-9 NIV)
