When we can't press on

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." --Hebrews 10:23

We've heard the saying "I'm at the end of my rope." Lately everything around us makes us feel like we've been at the end of several ropes. The rope, quite frankly, is fraying and coming apart. When we've cried our last tear for answers from God and we feel like there is nothing left to do, lift your hands in praise to your Heavenly father. Sing from your broken heart the praises of the King. Stormie Omartian writes in her book, The Prayer That Changes Everything, " praising and worshiping God doesn't guarantee that our prayers will be answered exactly the way we pray them."  She goes on to say that " praising Him helps us to rest [in God's timing.]1

Let us pray for each other and hold on in prayer and praise.
