Pray First: Pt 3 - Day 3

Reading: Exodus 33:12-16; Psalm 16:11

Devotional:
Moses declared, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." He understood that God's presence was more valuable than any promised land. What God has for your life is too big for you to handle alone—you need His hand upon you.
Feeling overwhelmed is often a sign you're stepping into something that requires God's power, not just your ability. Whether in marriage, parenting, ministry, or your calling, inadequacy should drive you to dependence on God, not retreat from His purposes.
God's anointing—His supernatural empowerment—enables you to live beyond your natural capacity. Our competence doesn't come from our education, experience, or effort; it comes from God. When His hand is upon you, you can face any challenge with confidence, knowing He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Reflection: In what area of life do you feel most overwhelmed? Invite God's presence into that situation today and ask Him to put His hand upon you.
