About this ebook
For everyone who has ever been in a pit-or is in one now-Beth Moore urges readers in her book Get Out of That Pit not to believe for one second that God has forgotten them. It was a truth she could pass to them from her years of pit-dwelling. What she learned in being delivered from that muck and darkness-shared in that very personal book-are lessons for us all about the healing to be found in Jesus.
In this companion devotional journal, she continually points readers to the deliverance that awaits if they will lift their eyes, their voices, and their hands to the Power who can rescue them completely, as the psalmist did in Psalm 40. The scriptures, thought-provoking questions, prayers, and room for reflection within this lovely journal will assure fellow travelers that no matter how they got stuck, no matter how long they've been down, whether they think they deserve it or not, their Redeemer is waiting. And He has promised that they can begin this very day to Get Out of That Pit once and for all.

To Kendall, Courtney, Claire, and Kelly—
When God first awakened a very special place in my heart for you, darling Kendall, I had no idea how much I’d come to love all three of your little sisters too. All four of you are bright sunshine on a Sunday morning at church and heaping helpings of strawberry shortcake at lunch. Never let life talk you into a pit. God has too wonderful a plan for each of you to waste a moment of it in defeat. Thank you for bringing so many smiles into my life.
I’m crazy about you!
Miss Beth

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In addition to all those who contributed to the original format of Get Out of That Pit, I owe and will joyfully pay a deep debt of gratitude to my beloved firstborn, Amanda Jones. This message comes to you in this form because of her hard work. She reformatted the book into forty autonomous journal entries complete with Scripture readings and questions as only someone could do who shares the same passion. I trust Amanda so
