Spiritual Warfare: 'God Rescues, Protects, & Strengthens'

God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, January 13, 2026

The Lord is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer. My God is my rock — I take refuge in him! — he’s my shield and my salvation’s strength, my place of safety and my shelter. My savior! Save me from violence!
— 2 Samuel 22:2-3 CEB

Today's Prayer

Lord, You are my mighty fortress of protection, the One who rescues me from all my troubles. I run to You, Lord, for the protection I need. You are an impenetrable shield to all enemies so my strength can be renewed and my body can be refreshed. You are my place of safety and protection. Thank You for inviting me into Your presence and deliverance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
