Therefore, the only thing necessary for us to do is to believe and to pray most confidently in Christ's name that God will give us strength, since He has erected His Kingdom and this is His doing. It is He who without our help, counsel, thought, or effort has advanced and preserved it to this day...so let us take comfort in His Word and trusting His promise, call upon Him confidently for deliverance in time of distress and He will help.
