For We Rely on You

 

And Asa cried to the LORD his God,

"O LORD, there is none

       like You to help,

   between the mighty and the weak.

Help us, O LORD our God,

       for we rely on You,

and in Your name we have

  come against this multitude.

O LORD, You are our God;

let not man prevail against You."

             2 Chronicles 14. 11

(Prayer is not letting God

    know our situation,

but recognizing, acknowledging

    and verbalizing

            our need for Him.

"For we rely on You"

  changes how we both

         approach and navigate

         our circumstances.

He is God, and we are not.

He is our God.

Trust Me in this.  Follow Me.

Prayer gives us pause

          to do exactly that.)

O LORD,

We rely on You,

much more than we say,

so much more than

    we even realize.

May we go into this day,

   knowing that Your hand

   and Your Presence

is over the mighty 

           and the weak.

Reveal to us today

  not just what to do

but how to abide in You,

and go forth

      in Your name.
