For the past couple of weeks, I have been like the chicken with no head, running to and fro but not really getting anywhere and barely getting anything done. I’ve been moody and morose. I knew full well what was bothering me but knowing what the matter is doesn’t change a thing when there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it.
When you come to the end of your rope and you know you’ve done all you can- it’s over. Stop trying. Accept it! And let go! Just let – it – go! Yes, I know that’s easier said then done, especially If you’re as stubborn as I am. You keep hanging onto that rope in spite of feeling anxious, desperate and defeated, in spite of the rope burns on your hands. But there is another way. Give it to God. Let His words encourage, inspire and refresh your spirit.
