Spiritual Warfare: 'Those Whose Heart is Completely His'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, May 7, 2026

For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars.
— 2 Chronicles 16:9 NASB

Today's Prayer

Lord, You are the heart Knower. You are able to discern my true nature and how my intentions are wholesome. It is so encouraging to know that You are actively searching for people who are wholehearted in their faithfulness and dedication to You. I want to be one of the people You strongly support because of my pure heart. Help me to have that kind of heart. Strengthen me to be the example that makes others want to know You and serve You. My life is in Your hands, Lord, and I trust You with it. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
