There are occasions in life when our troubles, or enemy, seem overwhelming and there is no hope for us, except in the Lord. We feel overwhelmed in such times, and before we go to war, or confront our troubles, we are quite certain we have already been undone, or defeated. But in such times we are not powerless, and our hope is not lost, quite often we just don’t realize how mighty our God truly is, and that He goes before us. Many times we lose sight of the fact that the battle is not ours to fight at all, but His. So, when do we lean on Him, and ask Him to help us? Do we say a quick prayer in the moment before we run into a fight, or do we look to Him beforehand, and pray that He will fend off the conflict long before it arises? When do we ask Him for His help?
