Battle

In the midst of your battle, cry out to God. Let him know that you are in a dangerous place.

The battle belongs to the Lord. Give it to him and watch him work through you to plant a big rock in your giant’s forehead.

Remember, prayer is simply talking to God. Tell him about the battle you are in (temptation, doubt, fear, anxiety).

Ask God to give you the humility to seek help. Don’t let your pride get in the way.

God reminds us that the battle is not ours to fight. He will be the One fighting for us. We simply need to trust Him.

Right now, in the midst of your battle, cry out to God. Let Him know that you are in desperate need of His help.

What banner do you hold high as you go into battle each day? If you hold the banner of self-sufficiency, independence or personal ambition, you will lose the battle every time. But if you hold high the name of the Lord, marching under his standard, he will give you the strength to defeat each foe.

The Promise was not a politician who came to change the laws of the land. The Promise was not a philosopher who came to teach morality. The Promise did not come as a military leader ready to take troops into battle. The Promise did not appear as a religious leader paving a way for man to work his way to God. The Promise “became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
