The Hope at the End of Your Rope

1 Kings 19:3-4
Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”

Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

Matthew 5:3
You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.

The Path of Surrender:
- I can’t
- Jesus can
- I will let Him

Accept + Become + Contribute + Deliver = Follower or disciple of Jesus

Galatians 6:2
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Prayer of Application:
Lord when it comes to _______________________, I can’t. You can. So I am going to let You. I put it in Your “to do” box, and know You can handle it.
