Spiritual Warfare: 'Obey God’s Commands to Avoid Enemy Traps'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, March 13, 2026

The wicked have set their traps for me, but I will not turn from your commandments. Your laws are my treasure; they are my heart’s delight.

Today's Prayer

Lord, forgive me for being so nonchalant about Your commands in the past. Forgive me for neglecting to read my Bible. Forgive my lack of commitment and my lackadaisical attitude toward church attendance. Help me to fall in love again with Your laws, Your ways, and Your people. Help me to be faithful and true, relying on Your Word as I face my daily walk. Help me to avoid the traps the enemy has set in my path, and help me to encourage others toward You in the process. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
