Do we talk to Him? And do we ask for His help?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">David did. Why? Because David knew that what he faced was bigger than him.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">2 Samuel 22:18 (NKJV) 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; For they were too strong for me.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Admitting that what stands before us is bigger than us\u00a0is crucial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Could it be that we don\u2019t cry out and get help because we think we&#8217;ve got this? We want to keep the reigns in our own hands? We keep pushing to take care of it on our own.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">When the enemy is way too strong for us, do we let it keep on beating us down because we refuse to ask for help?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">David cried out, and if we read on, we will see that he is reflecting on how God helped him through so much!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">What is <em>our<\/em> problem?\u00a0Is it that we don\u2019t cry out? Is it that we don\u2019t want to ask for help because then we may have to accept the fact we actually <em>need<\/em> help?<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Could it be pride that keeps us from getting the help we need and pride that keeps us in the struggle and the war\u00a0we are in today?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">David knew, time after time, that as he cried out to His Father, help would come. And David was strengthened by God\u2019s hand each time. Not in a prideful way, but he was\u00a0strengthened\u00a0in his faith toward his Father, knowing He would be there\u00a0somehow, in some way, to rescue\u00a0him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We need to let God help.\u00a0But before He can, we have to realize that what we face is too big for us.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And then we have to open up and cry out for help, believing He will be our refuge and our fortress!!<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Psalm 91:2 (NKJV) 2 I will say of the Lord, \u201cHe is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
