I like to point out that when Jesus gave his admonition for the apostles to obtain swords (for he was going away soon), the disciples actually had 2 swords in their possession. Leaves the “pacifists” speechless...
God is in charge. It is fine to ask God for help. I do so all the time.
I work at being careful not to order the Lord about.
He may break my enemies teeth, but that is his choice.
God understands our needs. May his will be done.
