Spiritual Warfare: 'God Knows Everything You Will ever Do'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, April 17, 2026

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!

Today's Prayer

Lord, the world tells me that You aren't all-powerful or all-knowing. But Your Word tells a different story: You are intricately involved in my life. You even know the number of hairs on my head. You know all my problems and You are fully aware of my hopes and desires. I praise You, God, as Lord and King. You even knew me before I came out of my mother, and You knew how many days I would live. I trust You, Lord, to order my life and lead me all the way to the promised land - heaven! In Jesus' Name, Amen.
