Psalm 124:8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,who made heaven and earth.

Why do we need help? when we are in trouble? why are we in trouble?

Look at Acts 4, when Peter healed the lame beggar and shared the words concerning the rescurrection of Jesus, he was arrested and asked to stand in front of a council. But the Holy Spirit help him in what he has to say.

Running around, busy with our work, we faced responsibilities of dateline completion and failure to meet KPI (key performance indicator) etc We sought help.

It seems to me that in the world breed trouble - by the worldly standard, the struggle of everyday to see ends meet, to achieve status, power and even to please others. Can we be out and don't mix with the world.

In my own course of work in forex - I deal with numbers and can choose not to meet people. I set my own guidelines and performance and do not need to meddle with people politics. As such I can get rid of the world trouble.

But we are in the Father's business and this business is about people. As such the trouble that comes along is unavoidable. If you enter Satan territory, he will give you no peace. So you want trouble or choose to be trouble free?

I choose the Father's business and that means trouble, because of the need to interact with people and because of the need to enter Satan territory. But Psalm 124:8 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,who made heaven and earth.

I pray that in times of such trouble, I will seek the Lord. Though these troubles, I pray that you allow me to learn and grow from it. Least of all, let my faith in you grow as you show me how to trust you and how you lead me out of troubles.

I thank you for rachael who has been taking care of the household and teaching the children. I thank you that you have bless my work. I thank you that my father has no side effect on the first dosage and that you have bless us with a good doctor for him and that we have sufficient funds to pay for the medicine.

Bless my children, they are smart and I pray that as parent, let us guid them, teach them and show them in God way. Keep them safe from sickness and from hurt.

I also thank you for answering my prayer in providing me with at least 2 partner to start up a company in forex. As we met, pray and laid down the guiding principles, I pray that you will continue to guide us to enter the next phase. Show us how we can use the excess funds for the extension of your work.
