When the Amalekites attacked Israel at Rephidim, Moses stood on a hill with God’s staff raised in prayer while Joshua fought below. Victory came only when Moses’ hands remained lifted, teaching Israel that prevailing over enemies requires God’s intervention through prayer, complete surrender to His plan, and total dependence on Him rather than our own strength.
