In January 1956 civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr could not sleep due to the tense circumstances at this time. So he prayed, "I am here taking a stand for what I believe is right. I am at the end of my powers.....I can't face it alone." Dr. King later wrote, "At that moment I experienced the presence of the Divine as I never experienced Him before. It seemed as though I could hear the quiet assurance of an inner voice saying, 'Stand up for righteousness, stand up for truth; and God will be at your side forever.' Almost at once my fears began to go. I was ready to face anything." The rest is history.
If we face opposition when we're trying to do what's right, we too must cry out to the Lord. He is our reliable source of strength and protection.
When we trust the power of God, we experience peace, not panic.
