When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.

Summary

This quote suggests that when a person reaches a point of utter hopelessness, they eventually realize that their own thoughts and efforts are inadequate to escape their despair. Instead, they can experience relief through the intervention of a higher power, referred to here as "the creative effort of God." By acknowledging their limitations and surrendering their own attempts to fix their situation, they become receptive to receiving divine assistance and ultimately find the support and solutions they need.
