Today's Parachute Prayer is to pray when brick walls block our way. It's hard, I know. But on a bad day when all's going wrong, dropping everything to ask God for wisdom, assistance, even blessing not only comforts us, but also often helps us to find a better way. Who knows? Maybe the brick wall is something to be thankful for. Maybe God has a different plan for our day. Maybe God is challenging our commitment or using the obstacle to strengthen our resolve. If we don't talk to Him about it, we'll never know--and we may never reach our goals. We'll just get many bruises from throwing ourselves at an unmoving wall, go to bed exhausted, and have to face it all again another day.
When obstacles confound us, it's worth our time to stop and pray.

Amen! I have a favorite prayer I pray when I feel I am bumping up against a wall in my physical or spiritual life. It is that God would tear down every wall that has raised itself up against the knowledge of Him, and His will and truth in my life. Sometimes I find that it isn't a wall but a stopsign or a yield sign, and I am to wait or stop moving altogether for a while...to be still and just know that He is God.
Thank you for the words of wisdom.
