I try to steer clear of those people. I\u2019m a generally positive person, but I do have my ups and downs. There are days when things go smoothly, and I feel encouraged and energized. But then there are days when I think (and sometimes say), \u201cWhy\u2019s <em>my<\/em> life gotta be so hard?\u201d When I feel like I\u2019m trying to push a rock up a steep hill. When it\u2019s really hard to keep going. <\/p>\n<p>On days like those, and in a time like this, I\u2019m learning to pray a little more, and sometimes <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/bible-resources\/4-one-word-prayers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I pray just one word<\/a>, over and over: Ebenezer. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, I know that was the first name of Scrooge in Charles Dickens\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/movies-and-tv\/the-man-who-invented-christmas-brings-dickens-to-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>A Christmas Carol<\/em><\/a>, but the word goes back much farther than Dickens. It\u2019s actually a biblical word. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s from the days when the Philistines were the arch enemies of God\u2019s people. (Remember Goliath? He was one of them.) The Philistines often fought Israel and oppressed them. But one day, the Bible says, \u201cthe Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle\u201d (1 Samuel 7:10, NIV). God\u2019s people asked the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/7-simple-prayers-to-pray-every-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">prophet Samuel to pray<\/a>, and he did:<\/p>\n<p class=\"rteindent1\">That day the Lord thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites\u2026.Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, \u201cThus far the Lord has helped us\u201d (1 Samuel 7:10, 12, NIV). <\/p>\n<p>Ebenezer, like many Hebrew words, combines two words: <em>eben<\/em> (stone) and <em>ezer<\/em> (help). The stone was a marker indicating, \u201cthus far the Lord has helped us,\u201d and expressing faith that He would lead them on from there. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a great word to pray, especially when I\u2019m struggling to keep going. It reminds me that God has helped me many, many times before. It encourages me with the realization that He\u2019s with me now, no less than He was then. And it energizes me to believe that He will help me, not only to keep going, but to find peace and joy, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/true-stories-of-answered-prayer\/rebekah-of-the-bible-an-answered-prayer-for-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in God\u2019s time<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Try it. Pray \u201cEbenezer,\u201d especially when you <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/putting-a-problem-in-perspective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struggle to keep going<\/a>. That one-word prayer can help you remember God\u2019s faithfulness in the past and rely on His rock-solid help in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people seem to skate through life, smiling and singing, with hardly a care in the world.
