Between a Rock and a Hard Place

You’ve had a loss and you can’t get motivated again. It could be the loss of a job or the death of a dear one.  Losses can be difficult and immobilizing. I’ve been there.

You can’t get over it. You can’t get around it. You’re so stymied you want to give up. "Why am I here?" you may ask.

Life is hard and there are no pat answers.  It’s hard to know where to turn. But you can turn to the Rock. God is the Rock. You may say, "Why would He bother with me? I have not given Him the time of day."

That’s the wonderful thing about God. He loves you. He holds no grudges. You don’t have to earn God’s love.  He stands ready to forgive you even if you lack faith. All you need to say is, “Help!  I have a tiny bit of faith.  Help my unbelief.  Give me hope that I can go on from this devastating loss.”

When you are between a Rock and a hard place, find the cleft in the Rock and crawl inside.  God will help you heal.
