Spiritual Warfare: 'Be Thankful, Prayerful, Vocal, and Glad in Him'

God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, October 13, 2026

Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done. Sing to him; sing praises to him. Tell about all his miracles. Be glad that you are his; let those who seek the Lord be happy. Depend on the Lord and his strength; always go to him for help.
— 1 Chronicles 16:8-11 NCV

Today's Prayer

Lord, I thank You and praise Your Holy Name. I pray to You because You are the Chosen One, the One I can always depend on for strength and constant help. I sing of Your greatness and kindness and glory, Lord, and I pledge to tell others of how You have rescued me again and again. You are the God of miracles and hope, and my heart rejoices in Your love for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
