Proverbs 24:10

If you are slack (careless) in the day of distress, your strength is limited.

Mark Hankins says, “Your believer needs to be connected to your speaker.”  Our faith spoken is the connection to our strength in overcoming our adversities.  David ran at Goliath, speaking covenant words.  When we are deliberate with the words we speak in faith, fear will not gain a stronghold.
