Wits End

Sometimes in life we reach the point where we can’t even focus, we feel as if we are drowning or we have lost or exhausted any possibility of finding a way out.



Have you already done everything possible to change your situation? Have you given up? If you find this is where you are, and then my dear friend, Psalms 107 has a beautiful message for you, you will find awesome testimonies of lost, sick, imprisoned and even of those lost in a storm.


We seem to wander around hopelessly from one thing to another, not even sure what it is we are seeking. If only we had something to hold on to. Have you cried out to the Lord and ask Him to deliver you from the endless pain and or suffering not knowing if you will just disappear over the edge; or are you just wandering around aimlessly? Have you succumbed to sin, allowing the worldly chains hold you from receiving your blessings? What are your storms of life? Let me tell you what is needed, first and foremost, hold on, tie a knot, and don’t’ give up; never let go, let hope sustain you. Cry out to the Lord, continue to pray to Him, but also you must work towards a new beginning, and even if you don’t see it or feel it, give thanks for the breath the Father gave to you. Never ever let your troubles get in the way of you allowing God into your heart and life. When at wits end surround yourself with Godly people-visit a church, find safety, reach out to the elders. Then let all your sins, troubles, pain, illness be cast into the depths of the sea. Don’t let Satan defeat you any longer, quit allowing him control over your mind, quit being restless in emptiness and fill your life with love and hope and watch as that dark cloud that has been looming over you dissipates.


I looked wits end up in the bible dictionary, and you know what it means, or talks about, the ship’s deck… Who is the head of you my friends, are you going to be mopped out to sea or fall overboard because you were just too stubborn to reach out and ask God for help?


In John 16:33, Jesus said, “…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”


God has equipped you to handle the storms of life by trusting in Jesus.


Similar to Job in the Bible, there are times when challenges hit us on all sides and we don’t always feel like responding with the Word of God; but rest assured that God’s Word is the solution to any problem. When you allow your responses and decisions to be founded on God’s Word, you open the door for God to come in and turn your situation around.


One of my favorite reads in the Old Testament is about a man who was faced with some of the most terrible situations ever known.


His children were killed, his livestock were destroyed and he was struck with painful boils on his entire body. Job had lost everything and I’m sure he was tempted to completely give up and turn his back on God. Even his wife told him to just curse God and die because he was in such a pitiful state. But Job didn’t do that. While he did go through a time of complaining and questioning, he never gave up on God. As a result, God restored everything he lost.


There are no challenges too great for God to handle. He can cause all things to work out for your good when you pray and seek Him. Maybe you feel you have tried everything, but I promise you that God can perform miracles, and if He can restore Jobs life, what makes you think He can’t yours, and even effortlessly at that.


If you have reached your wits end, then fellow friend this is the place where you have to allow God to take over and guide you.

In the midst of the storm even the disciples were scared, but take a close look at who reached out an arm and calmed the mighty roaring sea. My friend Jesus will do the same for you. Jesus is waiting to hear from you, Will you ask Him to still the storms in your life today?



Seek understanding and believe in what the Word will do for you. Everything you need to survive the storms of life is in your Bible; but you must trust and believe and let go of the worries that slow God down, don’t get in His way once you ask for His help, Trust Him, for it was He that gave your life.

This is the same sea, that Jesus quieted, the Sea of Galilee. Storms will come and go in your life, but be prepared by knowing Christ Jesus, so that you will be prepared to deal with them, and Trust Jesus to walk with you through them.


God bless you my dear friends, May all your storms be quieted as God enters into your soul, spirit and heart. Love you in Christ!
