You have more power on your knees! I saw a video of a ram fighting a rhino and it was amazing that the ram was able to out power this large animal and it was only one ram and at least 4 rhinos. I saw the ram back up get on it's knees and have more stabilizing power to ram ahead and defeat the rhinos and they ran off. When we are facing opposition it would seem likely to want to always put up a fight and there is a time and season for all of that. But when we get on our knees and surrender to God he fights for us! We don't even have to defend ourselves! We have to acknowledge God in all our ways and he will direct our path! First seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to us. What things? Anything you need that lines up with God's will for your life; peace in a storm, power to overcome, joy for mourning, comfort from sorrow, healing from pain, provision in the wilderness and protection in battles. We must remember we serve a God that is all powerfully and he will leave the 99 to go get the one. Therefore, if we seek him with our whole heart and have a relationship him God as our heavenly Father he will give us the desires of our heart. God puts his investment in us therefore he will protect his investment. Just like you put money our what you would consider your most prized possession into something and expect a return so does God! When he gave his only begotten Son Jesus to die for our sins we were bought with that price in exchange for our sins he cleansed us and made us whole. Therefore the return on that investment that God expects is really our reasonable service; for us to present our bodies a living sacrifice and whatever area that looks like for his name sake. Remember the wages of sin is death and since we were spared the least we can do is tell other folks about how God saved you, cleaned you up and set you free. You can also tell folks how God came to your rescue everyone has a story that could have went a different way but God's grace, mercy and protection saw fit for it not to be so!!! Glory to God I thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and for fighting for me, for bridging the gap! Jesus himself prayed all the time. He would go off by himself away from the disciples and the multitudes to pray and that will strengthen him. He taught the disciples how to pray given a model in how to pray and to a Model prayer! Not to say only pray this but how to pray and prayer is a constant and consistent and if we desire to be able to stand in the mist of adversity we have to have a solid foundation. A wise builder sits down and costs the cost of whatever is getting built right? Therefore we need God to be at the foundation of our lives so we can build wise. Our time in Prayer is what it cost to dif our foundation. As tall as a builder wants to make the building is how far he must dig down to be able to support the weight! Jesus prayed to God 3 times in the garden because he knew his time had come to fulfil his passion in not only having the burden of caring his cross but taking his last breath on it. So his time in prayer gave him the power he needed to endure!!! The Lord's Prayer!!! Mat 6:5-15 KJV 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in
