Wits End

To be at wits end is to be perplexed, unable to think what to do.

It is to be very worried or upset because you have tried every possible way to solve a problem but cannot do it.

It is to be utterly at a loss.

I find myself at wits end every once in a while in my life. It comes upon me suddenly, out of the blue. I don’t see it coming, but once I get there, it’s very hard to leave.

It’s like a dead end road with no outlet.

It’s claustrophobic. It’s isolated. It’s scary.

There is only one way out of wits end.

You cry your way out of it.

Psalms 107:27-28 “they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.”

    As I think about it, every time, I have gone there, God has carried me back on track. I have noticed though, if I recognize my helplessness and my dependent on God fast enough, God does not let me be there for long. It has been my practice to turn my dead end rods to God and He has opened doors that I did not know I needed to be opened, but after all has been done, I only can see God’s glory shinning in the darkness.
