Based on who our Maker is, and HIS qualifications, we’re simply to have Faith in Action. [v11] The God who calls Himself “I Am” said: “I Am with you…” – both helping and teaching. [v12,15] That same God who is “I AM” today – just as He has always been – is with me too. In surrendering myself to the One who resides within the supernatural, I become qualified for the impossible.[b]

3. Admit: “…Forgive us our sin as we forgive those who sin against us…”
What god is like You, Father – You who pardon sins and forgive the transgressions of those who cling to You? You don’t stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. [Micah 7:18]
4. Protect: “…Lead us not into temptation but delivers us from evil.”
Though confronted in the day of my disaster, Lord, You are my support. You’ll bring me out into a spacious place; You’ll rescue me because You delight in me. [2 Samuel 22:19-20]
