A request you may have expressed spontaneously is, “Deliver me from ever experiencing that situation.” Avoiding painful situations or people is a natural desire for most individuals. However, all conflictual situations and people that test your faith and endurance cannot be avoided. In these moments, reach out to God for help and solutions.
Genesis 22 relates how Abraham faced the death of his son Isaac. God commanded him, “Take Isaac and sacrifice him as a burnt offering.” Innocently, the boy questioned his father about where the lamb was that was to be sacrificed. Abraham answered, “God will provide a lamb for the burnt offering,” and God did just that.
God’s name, Jehovah-Jireh, which means “the Lord will provide,” is a name you also can trust even when the situation appears hopeless and bleak. Never give up and constantly be on alert for his help, provision, and solutions. God will provide as you remain faithful and true to his word and instructions.

Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram
caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt
offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide.
