Perhaps you aren't literally hanging by a rope, but you feel you are just 'hanging on'. Life isn't what it used to be, and you get easily discouraged. Perhaps you've felt like giving up altogether. But, there is something that keeps you holding on. You just can't let go of the rope, or perhaps that rope won't let you turn loose.

When we feel discouraged, and unworthy to live, we need only go to Jesus. He will bring us out of the darkness into light. He will encourage our hearts to follow Him, in his ways and obey His commandments. When we feel weak, He is strong, and will carry us through our trials and tribulations. When we feel we are at the end of our 'rope', He is there to steady our way, to keep us from falling. He said, in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." He wants us to put our full trust in Him, and let Him lead, guide, and direct our paths (our every day life). We will feel stronger, day by day, as we relinquish the 'rope' to Him, and let Him be the Lord of our lives.

God's Thoughts:

Psalms 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

Our Cup:

Heavenly Father, help us relinquish the running of our lives to you, that we may better serve you and live a life that is humbling and reflects your love for us. We give you honor and praise. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
