"I proclaimed a fast by the Ahava River, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us, our dependents, and all our possessions. I did this because I was ashamed to ask the king for infantry and cavalry to protect us from enemies during the journey, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek him, but his fierce anger is against all who abandon him.” So we fasted and pleaded with our God about this, and he was receptive to our prayer." -- Ezra 8:21-23 What did you hear God saying to you through this passage? What is the “big thing” that you have in your life that you need to rely completely on God to take care of?

“For you will not leave in a hurry And you will not have to take flight, because the lord is going before you, And the God of Israel is your rear guard.” --Isaiah 52:!2 Opening the door to follow God can be a daunting experience.

“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,” --2 Corinthians 3:5 God often calls people to tasks they may not have the competency for.
