Spiritual Warfare: 'Pray During the Night – Stay Close to God'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, June 16, 2023

I remember you while lying on my bed. I think about you in the middle of the night. That is because you are the one who helps me. It makes me happy to be under your protection! I stay close to you, and you hold me with your powerful arm.
— Psalm 63:6-8 ERV

Today's Prayer

Lord, as I lay down each night, I think about what You have done for me. I’m grateful for Your great love for me — in spite of my faults. Thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for Your protection and for the power of Your might that saves me from all my enemies. Satan is the prince of darkness, but You are the God of light, and light always wins over darkness. Hold me in Your powerful arms and deliver me safely into the morning light, Lord, and I will praise You again tomorrow. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
