Psalm 108:12-13 is an important Truth to remember whenever you face adversity, test or trials. It is ESPECIALLY important for us to remember this in the days in which we are living, right now, in THIS nation!
12 Give us help against the adversary, for vain is the help of man. 13 Through and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries.
We should NOT be looking to natural means as our source of help! God WILL move, in answer to our prayer, THROUGH natural means, but HE must be our Source of supply! Find out what His Word has to say about each and every situation you face. Pray His Word back to Him. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us this:
14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.
Once you have prayed "according to His will", His Word, then begin to praise and thank Him for the answer, no matter how things APPEAR to look! Be a DOER of Psalm 108:1-5:
1 O God, my heart is fixed (steadfast, in the confidence of faith); I will sing, yes, I will sing praises, even with my glory [all the faculties and powers of one created in Your image]! 2 Awake, harp and lyre; I myself will wake very early—I will waken the dawn! 3 I will praise and give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples; and I will sing praises unto You among the nations. 4 For Your mercy and loving-kindness are great and high as the heavens! Your truth and faithfulness reach to the skies! 5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let Your glory be over all the earth.
Remember, He inhabits your praises (Psalm 22:3) and where HE is, the enemy will be on the run! Amen! Here is Hillsong United with "Praise Him":
Shalom in Him!
