Don’t let go.
If you are wrestling with God right now and the night is dark and long – darker and longer than you ever imagined it would be or could be…
Don’t let go.
If God’s face is hidden and his purposes are unknown and all you feel is fear and “the joy of salvation” seems to be nothing other than a myth…
Don’t let go.
If God seems to have jumped you, attacked you, thrown you to the ground and your hope has been crushed and your breath is faltering…
Don’t let go.
If you feel alone – so very alone – and cannot even imagine anyone understanding how your heart is cracking under the strain as you struggle with faith…
Don’t let go.
If in the midst of the pain God causes even greater pain, a violent dislocation that shatters your innermost being…
Don’t let go.
If you wonder why you are holding on to the very Person who at this moment is hurting you more deeply than you thought possible…
Don’t let go.
Cling to him ruthlessly. In the face of doubt and despair and hopelessness and pain…
Don’t let go.
Cling to him relentlessly. No matter what anyone says or what your own thoughts scream at you…
Don’t let go.
Cling to him resolutely. Hold fast and with grim determination tell him –
“I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
