Today after your time of silence pray another Psalm over you and your family. You can continue on in the Psalms or find one that feels it fits your situation right now.

One thing that stood out was the need for partnership. First Moses need Aaron and Hur in battle – to help him keep his hands raised up. Then Moses needed help from the men of the tribes in order to judge the people. We need this same partnership in our journey of serving. We were never meant to do any of this alone – this was proven in the garden of Eden when God made a helper suitable for Adam.
