LET GOD FIGHT OUR BATTLES

Deuteronomy 20:1-9 "When you go out to battle against your enemies and see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, is with you. "When you are approaching the battle, the priest shall come near and speak to the people. "He shall say to them, 'Hear, O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today. Do not be fainthearted. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you

When people slander our name and try to cause us grief; our first thought is to “show them what for” but anger, hate, and backbiting, is not the way to handle our problems, Jesus. When we have no job, no money, and no place to turn; turn to Jesus and believe what He says, trust in His promise. When our hearts are pure and clean of the situation, we should pray and give it to God.  Let Him, fight our battles for us, in His will; and we will learn a lesson in the process.  Although we can’t see Him working our problems out, we will know it’s Him, when He’s done.  So, “let God fight your battles”, He can handle what we cannot because He sees all, hears all, and know all.  God, will give us eye that sees the enemy plotting against us, if we tame our tongues, be still and stay out of His way, He will fix it.  When we are connected to Christ He, walks with us; and when He walks with us, “No Weapon Formed Against Us Shall Prosper, it wants work” God will turn it around in our favor.

Father, we come to the altar with clean hearts, to say thank You, thank You for the hedge of protection You have around us.  Lord, continue working in and through us to lift others and build up Your Kingdom.  Father, right now we pray for all those who asked for prayer, Lord, You know them name by name and need by need; bless them according to Your will, not our will.  Father, we thank You for another day, because so many were called home; but You kept us, and we are so grateful.  Lord, we pray for those who were caught in the path of the storm; give those who loss loved one's strength, courage, and understanding, to help them get through their grief.  Lord, let us have the same unity and support we have in times of troubles every day; so we can function as one body in Christ, and love each other as we should.  Lord, thank You for those who volunteered their time and finances; to help those in need, and serve justice to those who take advantage of the situation.  Father, let the love and unity spill over into our daily lives, to help us through our day to day struggles and this walk with You.  Lord, touch our hearts and minds, help us release any anger, hate, or strife and replace it with understanding, love, and compassion. So, Lord, we bring the battle of addiction to You, the battle of adultery to You, the battle with our enemies to You, the battle of our finances to You, the battle of our weight to You, and all other battles we are fighting with or through.   Father, we surrender the throne to You, and we put our battles at Your feet; so we can be victorious and at peace, in Jesus name Amen
