The battle is the Lord’s: Look to Him for help

Psalm 34:4-7 | I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

  • How does David describe the person who looks to the Lord for help? 

  • How do we look to the Lord for help? How did Jehoshaphat do this (refer back to 2nd Chronicles 20:6-12 if you’re unsure)? 

  • When times of struggle come, how do you first respond? Does your response mirror Jehoshaphat’s or David’s in Psalm 34? 

  • What does the Lord do for His people according to Psalm 34:7? 

    • Why are these promises important? 

    • How can remembering these promises help you stand firm in the battle?
