Way Beyond What We Can Do Alone

 

...touched him and said,

"Arise and eat,

for the journey is

       too great for you."

      1 Kings 19. 7

When it comes down to it,

our journeys are too great

     for any of us alone.

But when we seek Him,

 God prepares

      and strengthens us

for what is now

    and what is ahead,

thorough His Word,

worship,

prayer,

fellowship,

and even through the witness

           of others.

These are not optional items

for our arduous trek

      through the wilderness,

but essential in binding ourselves

          to the Almighty.

And realize

   His strong hold already on us.

O LORD,

We need You.

We need Your Word

         to inhabit us.

We need Your people

   to dwell with us.

Help us to not even try

    to do this life

          without You.

May we realize

     it is not a shame to

    admit we need help.

And it is not a sin

          to accept help.

Give to us the courage

         and strength

to arise, eat

         and walk with You.
