Spiritual Warfare: 'Steadfast Under Trial'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, September 11, 2026

Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved<, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Today's Prayer

Lord, temptations and trials surround me. The enemy knows my weaknesses and works to exploit them in every way possible. But I know that You favor and bless all who persevere and overcome, and I want to be one of the overcomers, Lord. Give me the will, strength, and courage to finish my race and win my crown of life. I look forward to hearing Your words of approval on that great day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
