If you feel like you are falling ... let go, for underneath are the Everlasting Arms.
"You are hoping to save yourself, you are depending upon something that you have done, or that you have felt; I want you to let all that go, to give up every hope you have that comes out of yourself. "Oh!" say you, "but I shall fall." Yes, you will; and that falling shall be your salvation, for, "underneath are the everlasting arms." There you are, up at that window, and the flames are raging behind you, so that you cannot escape; but one stands below, he is strong enough to catch you in his arms, and he says, "Drop into my arms. Do not hesitate." Jesus Christ never yet allowed any soul to be injured that dropped into his arms. Let go, man, let go! Let go everything, and drop into the arms of Jesus. -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Everlasting Arms, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 41

Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:4

Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12
