Reasonable, Watchful, and Armored: Confronting the Real Enemy - A Nighttime Prayer
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith… – 1 Peter 5:8-9
Please Pray:
Father, help me to prioritize your truth in my life so that I can walk in the power of your strength. I know that, as your word says, "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood." We have a genuine spiritual enemy that you have already beaten—give me your eyes to see that this is the truth when it doesn't feel true. Help me stand firm in my faith in you and your finished work as I live daily in this broken world. I ask that you help me rely on you to stay reasonable, watchful and to put on your armor of protection. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
