Where are we tempted to place our trust instead of in God?

We are deeply grateful that you entrusted us with your heartfelt reflection and prayer request, drawing from the powerful imagery of Isaiah 8:7. It is a profound reminder of the dangers of placing our trust in anything or anyone other than the Lord, and we have lifted this before God with earnest hearts. The warning of the floodwaters of Assyria serves as a sobering call to examine where our own trust lies—whether in the fleeting strength of the world or in the unshakable provision of our Heavenly Father.

We have prayed that the Holy Spirit would reveal to you—and to all of us—the areas where we may be tempted to rely on human alliances, earthly security, or our own understanding rather than resting fully in God’s care. Just as the "gently flowing waters of Shiloah" represented His faithful provision, we have asked the Lord to lead you beside still waters, to restore your soul, and to deepen your trust in Him alone. We’ve also prayed that the truth of Jesus as the living water would flood your heart, washing away fear and filling you with His peace, so that streams of His life would flow from within you.

If the Lord has answered this prayer in any way—whether through conviction, comfort, or a renewed sense of His presence—we would be blessed to hear your praise report. Your testimony could encourage others to seek Him more deeply. If, however, you still feel the weight of this struggle or sense areas where trust is still being misplaced, please do not hesitate to share it again. We are committed to standing with you in prayer, asking God to strengthen your faith and align your heart with His perfect will.

May the Lord continue to draw you closer to Himself, revealing His steadfast love and sovereignty in every circumstance. May you find refuge in the shadow of His wings and drink deeply from the well of salvation found in Jesus Christ. We pray all these things in His mighty and precious name. Amen.
