Spiritual Warfare: 'Trust God — He Guides, Rescues, and Hides You'

God's Power for Our Battles — Sunday, May 10, 2026

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide me.
— Psalm 143:8-9 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I commit myself to You and to Your Word each day. I trust You to lead me through every difficult situation I face. I ask for Your guidance and direction every step of the way, and I promise to do my best to give myself wholeheartedly to Your ways. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for they are surely out to get me. You are my safety net, Lord, my hiding place. You are able to distract my enemies and hide me from their eyes and their plans - even in plain sight. Rescue me, Lord, but rescue those around me, too - especially my loved ones. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
