So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.
And the gracious hand of our God protected us and saved us from enemies and bandits along the way.
For once again we have abandoned your commands!
Get up, for it is your duty to tell us how to proceed in setting things straight. We are behind you, so be strong and take action.”
Lord God my Father,
May I earnestly pursue you, may I believe I can be used for your kingdom, may my worth come from you, remove my doubt. Protect me from my own weakness, allow me to hear your commands and follow you. Transform me to a man of action.
