When You’re Hanging On by a Thread

Two climbers on a steep rocky cliff with harnesses and ropes over a forested valley and river

When you feel like you have nothing left, God often does His deepest work in the empty places. The thread you’re hanging by may be the very thread of grace still holding you together.

 Bible Verse:
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. Psalm 34:17-20

When you’re hanging by a thread, do not forget that God’s grip is stronger than your weakness. When it feels like you’re at your breaking point you have not went beyond His power. He sees your tears, hears your cries, and sustains you moment by moment. Hold on, God speaks hope to the person who feels stuck in the middle of pain and sickness. When your body is weak, your mind tired, and your future uncertain, God has not stepped away. He hears every cry, every whispered prayer, and every exhausted sigh. Feeling stuck can make you believe nothing will ever change, but God works quietly in seasons where progress is hard to see. He is near to the brokenhearted and close to those crushed in spirit. Even when you do not know what to do next, you do not have to know everything, only trust the One who does. Let today be about taking one small step, breathing one prayer, and believing God is still writing your story through this trial.

Thought to Ponder:
God’s greatest strength shows up when yours runs out.

Journaling Prompt:
What burden have you been trying to carry alone that you need to surrender to God today?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I am holding on with everything I have but the rope has become a string that I am afraid is about to break. Give me strength to hold on and the direction to go. Lord thank You for seeing every tear and hearing every unspoken cry. Bring comfort to my soul today and give me rest when I feel overwhelmed and broken. In Jesus Name Amen.

Jesus Comforter

Comforted

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.


Dear Heavenly Father, be my guide and protect me from these things that surround me that I do not understand or that influence me in ways that are not from You. Lord I want to be and act as close to You as You’ve always wanted Your children to be. Lord give the strength to stand against the evil in this world, the distractions and influences. Help me to not fear and worry about these issues that continue to affect everything around us. Thank you Lord for Your protection, direction, and love. In Jesus Name Amen
