Spiritual Warfare: 'God Hears Our Cries'

God's Power for Our Battles — Monday, September 28, 2026

Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.
— Psalm 28:6-7 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I praise You as the One who hears me when I cry for help. You are there, offering mercy and hope to all who cry out to You. You are the source of my strength and the One who protects me from harm. I trust You, Lord, leaning on You when no one else is available. I am filled with joy and thanksgiving because I know I can always rely on Your help. Use me to Your glory, Lord, and fill me with Your presence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
