Feb 14 - The Battle

Ephesians 6:12

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
**********************

There are times in your life when you feel beset on all sides by attacks, challenges and roadblocks.  When these times occur, you may often think, “what am I doing wrong?!?”  Maybe that’s not the best way to look at it.

When you are on a good path, walking with joy within the plan God has for you, the enemy does not like it.  The Prince of Lies will throw obstacles in your way to try and knock you off the path.  The battle is not with the people of this world who are getting in your way or causing issues; the battle is a spiritual one.

So, when it seems like things are not going your way, maybe the better question is, “what am I doing right!?!”

Father God 

We know in our hearts, we can feel it in our souls, when we are walking in the way of Truth, moving forward within the plan You have for us.

When we are struggling, with the world pushing against us, bring upon us a spirit of peace and faith in You.

The Battle is Yours, Lord.  Help us to stand firm in the faith that this is a fight You have already won.  Give us the ability to find our rest in You.

We offer this to You, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns in perfect unity with You and the Holy Spirit as One God, now and forever, 

Amen.
