Read:
The Assyrian army had flattened nation after nation. Its king, Sennacherib, sent Hezekiah a letter that boiled down to this: Don’t trust your God. No god has stopped us yet.
Hezekiah didn’t write back. He took the letter into the Temple and prayed for rescue so “all the kingdoms of the earth will know that you alone, O Lord, are God” (2 Kings 19:19, NLT).
God answered. The Assyrian army was struck down, and Sennacherib went home. Hezekiah’s strongest move was refusing to handle things on his own.
Some things are simply too big to handle alone. Maybe you’ve been pretending they aren’t, and you’re worn out from it.
What’s bigger than you can handle right now? Write it down and bring it to God in prayer, like Hezekaih did with the letter from Sennacherib. Ask God for help, for his strength to make up for your weakness, and stay hopeful—we can overcome far more with God than we ever can without him.
Pray: God, this is too big for me. I’m laying it in front of you and asking for your help and your strength. Do what only you can do. Amen.
