Spiritual Warfare: 'God Protects From Traps & Diseases'

God's Power for Our Battles — Wednesday, January 15, 2025

The Lord will keep you safe from secret traps and deadly diseases. He will spread his wings over you and keep you secure. His faithfulness is like a shield or a city wall.
— Psalm 91:3-4 CEV

Today's Prayer

Lord, my enemies are setting traps all around me, planning my demise. Deliver me from these pitfalls that seek to tear me down and destroy my life. Cover me with Your wings of protection and keep me safe and secure from all my foes. Let Your presence in my life be a shield of protection and a high wall that no enemy can climb or penetrate. I rest in knowing I have Your protection and provision. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
