During a difficult time, it felt like I was clinging onto a rope that was spiralling down and soon reaching the end of its length. I was ready to give up and plunge into an abyss of despair when an image formed in my mind, clear as day.

There was a hand holding the other end of the rope.

Of course, we need to discern when it’s best to hold on, and when we ought to let go. If you are facing a seemingly unsurmountable barrier now, I hope this encourages you just as it encouraged me then.
