“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with this love.”

Zephaniah 3:17
Army Staff Sergeant Chris Braman was working in the Pentagon on the morning of 9/11, 2001. He felt the Lord had been preparing his heart for that day. Previously his faith was incidental. But when he was confronted with death, mass destruction, and the reality of man’s frailty, his knowledge of the Lord became a relationship with the Lord.

While explosions went off all around him, he prayed, “Lord, give me the strength for what I am about to do.” For three days, Chris helped carry people—63 of them—to safety, pulling them out of the rubble, running through fire and debris again and again. One woman Chris saved was burned so badly that she couldn’t speak. She prayed desperately and attempted to clap her scorched hands to make a sound which would lead someone to her. Chris found her and rescued her.

Are you crying out, “Lord, save me”? You are heard, whether you’re drowning in sorrow, pain, financial ruin, regret, or exhaustion. He runs in and reaches you where the agonies of life have trapped you. The One who made you is mighty to save.
