What do we do at the end of our rope.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. Sometimes we are overcome by situations that try to bring us down. Our heart beat increases and we begin to panic and sin begins to maybe be a reality in the near future. We try many ways to get out of the stressful situation and fix the problem ourselves. But in most cases like these, when we cannot do anything about the situation and arrive at the end of our rope, there is something we can do. I have been in these situations many a times. First I have to make sure my medication is right and maybe see my doctor if the situation is overwhelming. If the medication is right, what I do is I give my anxiety to God first, I tell Him exactly what is bothering me in detail. Sometimes though in doing this we give Him the anxiety and we take it back. You have to keep giving Him the anxiety until you see you have given it completely to Him. Then after that, just start to give Him thanks over and over. What will probably happen then is He will reveal to you why you should be thankful, He will give you an insight with incredible peace behind it. While you give thanks you will probably see He has been fixing something in you too. You will lose your pain in the mist of your genuine praise and you will lose sight of your selfish needs. Wait on the lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your hearts; wait I say, on the Lord! Psalms 27:14. In all this we must remember that the Lord will answer us and save us from our anxieties. But sometimes we must wait. He will say yes, no or wait. but in all cases we must be strong and wait on the Lord. Wait, wait on the Lord!
