reliance

"We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many."
2 Corinthians 1:8-11

even there

" ... even there
your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast."
Psalm 139:10
*
... even there
*
whatever the there
... even there
*
whenever the there
... even there
*
wherever the there
... even there
*
when I am feeling overwhelmed
... even there
*
when I have nothing left to stand on
but your mercy and grace
... even there
*
when there is nothing left in my self
... even there
your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
