Surrender your battles to God

Every day brings with it various problems to individuals. People have to battle with unemployment, illnesses, bereavement, crime, dropping out of college, being dumped by lover, marital conflict or dismissal from one’s job. Whatever battle faces you, God has demonstrated in the past that he can win it for you. The only thing you need to do is simply to surrender that battle to Him. This is what David did to defeat Goliath. “The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine”, David told King Saul. He told Goliath, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty…The battle is the Lord’s …” Whatever your battle, do not fear. Just like David, you only need to surrender the battle to God and he will defeat your Goliath for you. Whenever you face a crisis, tell yourself, “This battle is the Lord’s”. Certainly, once you give Him the green light, He will intervene and get that glorious victory for you.
