And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
-Genesis 33.1

Do you ever find yourself trying to prepare for the future instead of trusting that the lord will totally protect and provide for you? When tough things are headed our way the first thing that we should do is turn to the Lord in prayer. When we pray first it is easy to see how the Lord answers us. As a Christian we always want to see evidence that the Lord is working on our behalf, but how often do we passionately ask for God’s help? Not nearly enough. Today, make sure that you passionately ask for the Lord to help you in any trial that comes your way.

question : When trials are on the horizon how passionately do you ask the Lord for Help?

Mission : When adversity strikes, make prayer your first line of defense.

Lord, thank you that you know the trials that I am going to encounter before I even know what they are. help me to make prayer the first thing that I do every time.

Maybe it's not yet the right time for you to have it or God wants you to wait more and test your faith in Him Wink
