Have you ever been in a situation in which you did not know what to do or in which direction to turn? Maybe you feel distressed and tied up in knots. The weight of the world seems to be pressing hard on you. Others may be hostile towards you; they harass and vex you at every turn.

Now is the time for you to admit that you are weak and pray and entreat Jehovah, the Lord God, to come to your help. You are tired, wounded, sick, and sore and you know you can do nothing to help yourself. Therefore, humble yourself and bow low before the one True God. When you put yourself in subjection to Him. your enemies will not subdue you. Like your fathers before you, you will discover that the greater your fear and humility before Adonai, the Most High God, the greater will be the abundance, power, and might that He will give you.
