feel like i m between a rock and hard place right now reddit

Have you ever experienced a hard place: times of confusion, fear, sorrow, loneliness? Relationships may fail; precious dreams die. Summers are scorching; winters appear bleak. Questions are asked; answers won’t come. Our circumstances vary, but we all go through them. If you find yourself between a rock and a hard place, here are 12 things to remember that can encourage you.

In those times I’ve learned to rehearse some things about God, times when Jesus has walked with me, held my hand, and brought me through the hard places. These are 12 things I can remember that keep me from being discouraged. And this list is only a small one from Jesus’ long track record of faithfulness. Jesus’ help in hard times is readily available. With promises like that, why would we ever doubt Jesus’ faithfulness? Lord Jesus, thank You for being with us in the hard places of our lives.

For all the times You’ve rescued us, held us, loved us, and filled us with your hope and peace, we are so grateful. When we’re in over our heads, You’re there. When we feel like we’re going down for the last time, You pull us up. Teach us to trust You more and more and to run from discouragement when we’re between a rock and a hard place. With You, there are no dead ends–only endless grace and possibilities. Thank You, Jesus!

Would you like to know why I’m so confident of Jesus’ help in those times I’ve listed above? I’m so passionate about God’s faithfulness, that I wrote about 90 ways, 90 needs, and 90 reminders of His faithfulness and how He wants to help us. He cares for us not just when we are between a rock and a hard place, but at all times! You’ll find these in my new prayer devotional of two-way prayer conversations with our heavenly Father, along with 450 supportive Bible verses written out, and so much more. I hope you’ll check out Day-votions® with Your Faithful Father: 90 Days with the One Who Wants to Meet All Your Needs here or on my website. I can’t wait to hear how the truths in this book have helped and encouraged you!

Sooner or later everyone finds themselves in a tight spot, a tough situation where you have limited options and little time. These tight spots can appear at work, at home, in relationships, and in financial situations. Sometimes they include all of the above. Some people simply crumble in these moments, and others seem to behave with quiet confidence. Then sometimes you find yourself between a rock and the hard place. You need to have to make a very tough decision, and every choice is unappealing.

When you find yourself moving from a tight spot to the point between a rock and a hard place, it is easy to feel fear. Your fear might create some long and lonely nights where you find yourself tossing and turning. In moments like this, I sometimes can’t tell when I’m praying and when I’m not. I go in and out of sleep. As you read through 1 Samuel we see David moving from a tight spot to a place, literally, between a rock and a hard spot. Surrounded by enemies, he chooses an even more difficultl situation.

He runs to a cave. In chapter 21 we find David face-to-face with the king of Gath. In this tight spot David chose to act like an insane person in order to avoid death. His act was convincing, and it allowed him to escape. He ran to a cave in Adullam (chapter 22). There he was joined by a many other distressed people who proclaimed him to be their leader.

David picked up some company in the cave, but that only made his decisions harder. What can we learn from David? Thankfully he wrote some psalms both in his tight spot and when he was between a rock in a hard place. Psalm 56 and 57 describes David’s fears and his solutions in both situations. You can sense the connection between these two events with David’s language. Psalm 56 opens; “Be gracious to me, O God…” and Psalm 57 opens, “Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me…”.

“Be gracious to me, O God. . . . Be merciful to me, O God.”
