The Way Out

https://amys-room.blogspot.com/2023/05/the-way-out.html

There are times in our lives when it seems there’s no way out.
Sometimes life is like being trapped inside a room,
completely locked, with no windows, doors, or keys.
And you, unable to get yourself out, not even knowing how to do it, even if you knew the way. 
Sometimes the locked doors are our own limitations.
Lack of resources, impaired mobility, a weakened state of mind,  maybe. Lack of support, standing alone, with no one in our corner.
Some life situations are like staring at a puzzle on a table, and not even being able to reach for one puzzle piece, to see if it might fit. Life can seem like one big unsolved puzzle at times.
I’ve heard of real-life escape rooms, and that is exactly what some situations in life can feel like. 
I know of a key that is able to set us free from these troubling situations, when all the doors are locked and the windows are sealed shut, when lions wait outside the door to devour, should you break free. 
The way out is on your knees.
Through calling on Jesus.
He can open every door, subdue every lion, and lift you up and out of every hopeless pit.
It might not happen instantly, but in His timing, He will save and rescue, according to His will. 
There are times in life when no outside help comes, and in these hopeless and scary seasons, we have a true friend in Jesus. 
In a real life escape room, you’re on a frantic search for the way out. But we don’t have to handle life circumstances in a frantic, rushed state. We can fall upon our knees, and pray. We can call upon the name of the Lord. We can humble ourselves and pour out our troubles to the One who listens and cares and loves us unconditionally. 
The way of escape is on our knees, in prayer.
