At The End of Your Rope (Pastor Ed Delph)
Do you know what I have learned over the years? There's nothing that will improve your walk with God and your prayer life more than a big crisis in your life. Let me illustrate.
A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best prayer positions, while a telephone repairman worked nearby. "Kneeling is the best way to pray," the priest said. "No," said the minister. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven." "You're both wrong," the guru said. "The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor." The repairman could not contain himself any longer after listening to their conversation. "Hey, fellas," he interrupted. "The best praying that I ever did was when I was hanging upside down from a telephone pole."
Someone once said, "When you find yourself at the end of a rope, you will find out God lives there. We've been there, at the end of our rope, haven't we? The further we slide down the rope, the higher the anxiety."
Generally, sliding down the rope causes more stress than when you reach the end of the rope. Hanging upside down from a telephone pole would catch my attention; how about yours?
But God lives at the end of the rope!!!

Said Rev. Doctor Wise,
"Is standing straight with outstretched arms
And rapt and upturned eyes."
"Oh, no; no, no," said Elder Slow,
"Such posture is too proud:
