Have you ever had one of those moments when you’re walking along and suddenly find yourself sprawled out on the ground? As we walk through life, there is an enemy of our souls who would love nothing more than to trip us up. Scripture warns us over and over again to be watchful, to be on our guard against the schemes of the enemy.
May we find strength in the Lord even when we take a fall. Don’t give up – get up! Jesus knew we would stumble in this world and He prayed for us ahead of time.
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
John 17:15
Stay in the race! Jesus, our advocate, is still interceding for us. May you feel encouraged today as you picture Jesus, seated at the right hand of God, advocating for you in prayer (Hebrews 7:25).
We must watch our steps without shrinking back in fear. One way we can do this is by partnering with Jesus in prayer.
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
Matthew 26:41
