Have you ever faced a challenge that seemed insurmountable? Have you battled addiction, financial difficulty, or a physical or mental illness? The word challenge is a term common to all humans irrespective of age or status. Believers are not exempt. 
Even though difficult moments differ for each individual, it is our response and actions that matter most. Those who act indifferently and allow fate to decide for them will probably become overwhelmed, depressed, and find life not worth living. They assume the position of victim and demand self-pity; they won’t make an attempt at solving the problem because they believe they cannot. 
Then there are those who take the bull by the horns and are proactive. Defeat is not an option for them. Whatever the situation, they pull together and fight back, no matter how overwhelming the situation may seem. They don’t fold their hands and resign themselves to fate. Instead, they put their abilities to work in anticipation that they will succeed.
As believers, as good as it is to trust and rely on the Lord for our needs, we also should play our part. God will not play His role when we have not done our part.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful because You are a dependable and reliable God. Thank You for being there for me, fighting my battles and giving me victory. I pray for strength to bear every challenge life throws my way. Supply me with help and wisdom at every crossroad I come to in life, Lord. I refuse to be intimidated, fearful, or act cowardly. My victory is guaranteed because You are my help. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
