Spiritual Warfare: 'God Will Help You Defeat Your Enemies'

God's Power for Our Battles — Thursday, June 18, 2026

You will search for your enemies, but you will not find them. Those who are at war with you will be reduced to nothing and no longer exist. I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand and say to you, "Don’t be afraid; I will help you."
— Isaiah 41:12-13 GWT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I trust Your promise that my enemies will fail in their attempts to destroy me. Their efforts will be reduced to nothing and then cease to exist at all. I trust You to do exactly as You say. Hold my hand, Lord, as I go through this trial, and please let me hear Your voice as You speak to me and remove my fears. Help me, Lord, and lead me out of this mess. Thank You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
