Lord, there is none beside thee to help. (2 Chronicles 14:11, RV).
Remind God of His entire responsibility. "There is none beside thee to help." The odds against Asa were enormous. There was a million of men in arms against him, besides three hundred chariots. It seemed impossible to hold his own against that vast multitude. There were no allies who would come to his help; his only hope, therefore, was in God.
It may be that your difficulties have been allowed to come to so alarming a pitch that you may be compelled to renounce all creature aid, to which in lesser trials you have had recourse, and cast yourself back on your Almighty Friend. Put God between yourself and the foe.
To Asa's faith, Jehovah seemed to stand between the might of Zerah and himself, as one who had no strength. Nor was he mistaken. We are told that the Ethiopians were destroyed before the Lord and before His host, as though celestial combatants flung themselves against the foe in Israel's behalf, and put the large host to rout, so that Israel had only to follow up and gather the spoil. Our God is Jehovah of hosts, who can summon unexpected reinforcements at any moment to aid His people. Believe that He is there between you and your difficulty, and what baffles you will flee before Him, as clouds before the gale.
--F. B. Meyer

There are those times is which it seems that you are standing alone. Those who you considered friends have either abandoned ship or folded under the pressure. Do not become frenetic or unglued because of the darkness that surrounds you. Your outcome is brightest when your only hope is the Almighty.

Don't buy into the illusions of the enemy as he attempts to whisper the sweet nothings of negativity into your ear. Don't assume the perspective that your circumstances are bigger than God. You will find that it is when you are in the deepest of pits and the darkest of moments that you are standing in the middle of a move of God. He has promised to never leave nor forsake you. He has promised to move on your behalf. He has declared that no weapon that formed to move against you will prosper. Stand on His promises and do not waver.
There is nothing too hard for God. Simply stand still so that you may witness His awesome power in your life. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace
