O grant us help

       against the foe,

for vain is the

           salvation of man.

With God

    we shall do valiantly;

it is He who will

           tread down our foes.

            Psalm 108. 12-13

(The key words here are

            with God.

We are not alone.

Am I trying to do this by myself?

God says, "Trust Me in this."

Remember that our foes

   are whatever we fear,

       both real and imagined.

God guides us through.

Fear only trips us up

     and ties our laces together.

How would I approach

            this scary situation,

            this hard place,

            this overwhelming thing,

if there was nothing to fear?)

O LORD,

You show us Your deliverance,

not just in the outcome,

but in the journey,

        running with You.

You do not just deliver us from,

     but deliver us through.

And we come to know You

      and trust You even more.

We love You.

Help us to follow You today

   in whatever is before us.
