Have you ever done something extreme? Like, something mind-blowing you'll tell your grandkids about one day? Do you remember how nervous . . . no . . . how scared you were? Maybe you went bungee jumping? Listen, who trusts their life to a big, industrial rubber band? That's wild! Perhaps it wasn't something other people could see. Maybe the decision was to share your faith, say "hi" to the person you've admired from a distance, taken on a new challenge at work, or decided to make your own PB & J sandwich. 

Each of us faces those moments when we're afraid our legs are going to give out, and we're just going to collapse under the pressure of it all. We especially have these moments while seeking God. Sometimes life feels like it's beating us up, and we can't take anymore. We face pressure and expectations while also dealing with our guilt and regret. Regardless of what we're going through right now, we can always find our strength in Jesus.

When do you most feel "at the end of your rope"? How do you typically rely on the strength of Jesus?
