All week long we have sought ways to pray in such storms.  The good news is that nothing which confuses us is confusing to God. 

This week we have learned to expect storms even when we are following Jesus, and to trust the power of God when they come.  You are proof of that power today.

As we saw yesterday, we must expect tempests and trials in this broken and fallen world. 

In the aftermath of the worst week in Wall Street's history, no one is sure what comes next.  How do we pray in such a storm as this?

This week we've learned how to wage war against Goliath, wherever and whomever he may be.  Let's close with one of the most powerful statements of faith ever preached. 

We're fighting Goliath this week, wherever and whoever he is in your life. 

When you're up against Goliath, you can fight in your strength and lose.  Or you can fight in God's strength and win. 

Yesterday we began thinking about the folly of fighting your Goliath in your strength. 

In times like these most of us feel more like David than Goliath.  As we'll learn this week, that's not a bad place to be.

Do you ever feel like a young boy with no training, no background, no credentials, sent to fight a warrior who stands over nine feet tall?  Ever feel like David against Goliath?
