I will come upon him
while he is weary
and discouraged
and throw him in a panic...
2 Samuel 17. 2
(That is always
the adversary's agenda:
wear us down,
wear us out,
and panic opens the door
to an ambush.
The adversary threatens,
"It will always be this way."
But God
pushes back the darkness.
May we learn to seek God
in the overwhelming.
And listen to His voice in this.
As Oswald Chambers said,
"We act like pagans
in the crisis."
But God shows us
a new path through
when we keep our eyes
on Him alone,
when we have something
to eat, and
when we get some sleep.
Worry shuts out
all available light.
Fear deflates our tires.
But God says,
"I've got you.")
O LORD,
Please let not the darkness
nor our weariness
chip away our defenses.
You are our shield.
Protect, defend
and strengthen us
in these circumstances.
Carry us through.
Our eyes are on You.
Show us Your way
and hold us tight.
