Father, help me not to walk in arrogance and self sufficiency, but to put the whole of my trust in you, in everything I say, in everything I do, that I would look to YOU for how to do it, and what to do, and what to say. Help me to depend on YOU, and not on my own wisdom. Bind my heart to Your heart, my mind to Your mind, and my will to Your will.
Ps 56:4-5 AMP By [ the help of ] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me? 5 All day long they twist my words and trouble my affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil and my hurt.
By God’s help I will praise His name and praise His Word ! I will lean and rely on God and put all my trust in HIM. I REFUSE TO FEAR ! What can man do to me if God is for me ? I will not give in to the fear of man. I will take up my cross and follow YOU Lord !

We choose to follow YOU and to obey what You want us to do and to say what You want us to say Lord ! We will trust in Your preserving GRACE.

I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden.

Do astonishing things that surprise us and those we pray for ! Dimay the pride of man in the earth ! Use the weak to confound the mighty !
