I can do nothing!" How often we hear that expression used by those who have been frustrated in some activity or desire. Sometimes we can "untie" our hands by just sitting down and taking stock of ourselves and by thinking things through. jBy so doing we may frequently free ourselves of petty jealousies and ambitions or personal pique. A church is an excellent place to go for such reflection in services or at odd times. By spending a quiet hour in church one can shake off worldly worries and cares.

We can separate the pure metal from the dross, shake off frustration and place ourselves in a mood to solve our problems untie our hands.
