Fortitude

Today's homily I found very apt to how I was feeling. This morning as I was on my way to work I kept on thinking how I felt my hold on life was hanging by a fraying thread, one where I can easily see myself slipping into the darkness of despair. But the priest's homily hit home, he said "in moments where we want to give up, and think we can't hold on any longer, to pray for fortitude to hang onto the line, and just not let go, God will carry you when you feel that you alone can't make it."
