Spiritual Warfare: 'Use Prayer as a Weapon Against Evil'

God's Power for Our Battles — Saturday, January 25, 2025

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.
— 1 Peter 3:12 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I trust You to watch over me. I know You see everything I face and everything I fear. Forgive me for all my fears, Lord, and help my faith to grow beyond fear. Help me to choose righteousness so Your face will shine on me with gladness. Remind me that You listen to the prayers of the godly, and are against those who do evil. In Jesus Name, Amen.
