Christ's Authority for Spiritual Protection - A Nighttime Prayer

Submit yourselves . . . to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

– James 4:7 (ESV)

Please Pray:

Lord, You know my battles. Sometimes it feels hopeless. I want to serve You, but occasionally it just feels like things get in the way of life and ministry. Satan seems to break down my commitment, discouraging me! Help me to remember that I am free in You—and that I have Your authority to “resist the devil” so “he will flee from me.” Help me to keep my confidence in You, trusting You to fight for me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
