Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for he always tenderly cares for you. Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure. 1 Peter 5:7‭-‬9 TPT

There’s a real enemy wanting to devour you. Your instructions today are to take a decisive stand against him and resist every attack with strong, vigorous faith.

It’s clear that attacks are inevitable. Jesus said this, but with the warning was a promise; “Be of good cheer, I’ve overcome the world.”

How did He overcome? He said, “It is written.” He used the Word to win, and you can too.

When I’m under the greatest attacks, I begin praying for others. There is no sense in focusing on problems I can’t solve. But if I can encourage others to hold on and not give up, it fuels my own faith.

I pray for you, my friend. May today bring you hope. May faith rise up, and May your trust in God be fortified.
