There was a fellow who was about to jump from a bridge. An
alert police officer slowly & methodically moved toward him, talking with
him all the time.
When the officer got within inches of the man he said,
“Surely nothing could be bad enough for you to take your life. Tell me about
it. Talk to me.”
The would-be jumper told how his wife had left him, how his
business had gone bankrupt & how his friends had deserted him. Everything
in life had lost meaning. For 30 minutes he told the sad story - then they both
jumped.

“Battles are fought in our minds every day. When we begin to
feel the battle is just too difficult and want to give up, we must choose to
resist negative thoughts and be determined to rise above our problems. We must
decide that we're not going to quit. When we're bombarded with doubts and
fears, we must take a stand and say: "I'll never give up! God's on my side.
He loves me, and He's helping me! I'm going to make it!” - Joyce Meyer.
Hab 3:17-18: “Fig trees may no longer bloom, or vineyards
produce grapes; olive trees may be fruitless, and harvest time a failure; sheep
pens may be empty, and cattle stalls vacant -
I will still be joyful and glad, because the Lord God is my savior.”
