Be strong in the faith of this truth, make it an article of your creed; with the same faith that you believe there is a God, believe also this God’s almighty power is thy sure friend.
…
The almighty God stands in sight of thee while thou art in the valley fighting, and stays but for a call from thee when distressed in battle, and then he will come to thy rescue.
William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armour

You don’t have to fight the day’s battles alone; the Almighty living God is on standby, waiting only for your call to bring relief. Don’t look to him as a last resort to be petitioned only after you’ve failed yourself, but call out to him first.
