Wall.
You’ve hit it hard—headfirst into something you can’t move past. No doors. No windows. No way through. Just cold, unyielding stone staring back at you. You can’t turn around, and forward is impossible. The air grows thin as the wall seems to draw closer and closer. You’re trapped—ensnared, smothered, stagnant. It crowds you until you can barely breathe anymore. You’ve tried everything, but nothing moves. And now, you just want to quit.
But when there’s no way forward, look up. When there’s no path in front of you, maybe that’s because God wants you to lift your eyes up to Him. Sometimes no way forward means that you have to redirect your gaze—from struggling horizontally to surrendering vertically.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV)
