Do you have huge problems that need to be solved? Don’t worry because I’m pretty sure all the other people have too. But there are ways to overcome them just like how David faced Goliath without fear. You just need the right prayers. Yes, the RIGHT PRAYERS.
Many of us would complain when we are given big responsibilities. For an instance, when a student is enrolled in a subject under the rule of a terrible teacher, he tries withdraw or change the schedule just to avoid his instructor. Or when you are assigned by your boss to work on a project which you think is too much for you to handle, you tend to grumble. But we have to understand that we should not pray for easy lives for it helps us to be strong. Instead, we should pray for the strength to endure a difficult one. We should not pray for tasks that matches our power but we should pray for power that matches our tasks.
We must put in mind that before we face our Goliaths we must call out to God first. Praying is one way of recognizing that we have a need. That’s why in order for us to succeed in beating that Goliath, we must remember this: “Focus yourself on your Goliath and you will stumble, but focus yourself to God and your Goliath will stumble.” When David faced Goliath he never was afraid to fight against that 9-foot giant, wearing an armor coat vest weighing 125 lbs. and was carrying with him a spear weighing 25 lbs. All he had with him were pebbles and a sling. But what makes David different from all the other Israelite armies? He looked at the situation differently from all the others. He knew that God was with him. He never wished that his opponent was smaller but he had the courage which had grown out from his theology – his understanding of God. David was a man after God’s own heart. He didn’t only know God theologically but also experientially. And that’s where David got his strength.
We must also be like David – not afraid to face Goliath. All we have to do is call out to God. He is not only the god of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and all the other prophets. He is our God. Don’t be afraid to ask for help because man alone can do nothing. But a man who has God in his heart can do everything.
