Thought for Today: “At Wit’s End”

Are you at your wit’s end?

To be at “wit’s end” means a person is about ready to lose it. It is to be so worried and confused, so overwhelmed with problems that a person doesn’t know what to do next as they are at their emotional and mental limit.

The Psalmist likens it to being drunk and stumbling not having a clue as to what a person is doing. But he doesn’t leave us stranded in this condition. He gives us the remedy, and that is when we find ourselves at our wit’s end we’re to cry out to God, and God will then deliver us from whatever has got us so tied up and turned around.

“They reeled and staggered like drunkards; they were at their wits’ end. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.” (Psalm 107:27-28)

Don’t know what to do, cry out to God.

“In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul.” (Psalm 138:3)
