We Trust in You

And Asa cried out to the Lord his God, and said, "Lord, it is nothing with you to help, whether with many or with those who have no power. Help us, O Lord our God; for we trust in you, and in Your name we come against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God. Let no man prevail against you." (2 Chronicles 14:11 MEV)

Today's meditation:

• Take a good look at whatever challenges or threatens us and what it would take, no matter how huge, to solve the challenge or remove the threat. It is like nothing to God. It is easy for him.

Pray today:

• For our trust in the Lord to soar, for us to remember who it is we serve.
• For us to relax our grip on the challenges we face even as we hold more tightly to him who is our source and our deliverer.
• For threats to dissolve, for obstacles to fall, for nothing to thwart God's plan and purposes for us, for people to yield to God's will.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College.
