Our capabilities and resources are not the deciding factor in the outcome of that for which we pray. Rather, God is the best solution to our every challenge, even our people problems. Charles Spurgeon wrote, “In all times of danger from men our wisest course is to fly to the Lord our Helper. He has ways and means for delivering us which we know not of. He can either turn our enemies into friends or else so check all their efforts that they shall do us no real injury.” If you are facing a challenge, perhaps even a people problem, the easiest yet most powerful prayer is simply to pray, “God, help!” And why not, for the Bible says, “The Lord is our help and our shield.” (Psalm 33:20)

A Simple Prayer for God’s Help:

God, help! I ask you to fight for me. I’m overwhelmed and powerless in myself, but you have promised to be with me, to be for me, and to make me more than a conqueror. So I boldly ask for a supernatural supply of victorious power to meet the challenges of this day. For your glory alone, I pray this in the strong name of Jesus. Amen.
