When you reach a point when you have no other choices and no way out, what do you do?
Trust.
A good friend and i were talking a few months back and he said in the end for him it boils down to whether we trust God or not. Does He (God, not my friend!) really have our best interests in mind? Will He really work it all out for those who love Him? Does He really watch over us and care about the intricacies of our lives...
The Bible answers yes to all these things.
I think of Joseph...so he was cocky with his brothers about some dreams he had...and his life quickly got out of his control. He was thrown in a pit, sold into slavery, falsely accused of assault, thrown into prison...sat there for YEARS...helped some guys out with dream issues (ok, for one guy it didn't turn out so well) but Joe really thought the other guy would help him out only to sit in prison for more time...
We all know the end of the story. Joe ended up reunited with his father, saving his family from hard times and in the end rescued an entire nation! In Gen. 45:8 we read that Joe knew God sent him. Further on in Gen. 50:20 he states to his brothers "What you intended for evil God intended it for good..."
I don't know what is going in your life today but i am praying you have faith and trust in the character of God and see truth in His word. And with trust you will do what God wants you to do in EVERY situation.
Rest assured...He will not let you down...
