Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. (1 Samuel 30:6 NKJV)
While David and his men were away, the enemy swooped in and destroyed their home and carried their wives and children away captive. In the midst of the despair, David turned to the Lord and strengthened (hung on) himself in the Lord. After that he was a changed man, pursued his enemies and recovered all that was lost.
When you have hit rock bottom, come to your wits end, hang onto God. Even if it feels like the last rung on the ladder. You will find strength to fight back and recover all that was lost!
