Spiritual Warfare: 'Study God’s Word and Will Wholeheartedly'

God's Power for Our Battles — Wednesday, October 14, 2026

I will take pleasure in your laws and remember your words. Treat me with kindness, Lord, so that I may live and do what you say. Open my mind and let me discover the wonders of your Law.

Today's Prayer

Lord, forgive me for neglecting to study and learn Your Word-the Bible. I confess I have lived most of my life for me instead of for You. Change my heart now, Lord, and give me a fresh desire to study and learn Your ways and please You completely. I want to discover the intricate wonders of Your commands and instructions. Help me to learn from the example of Jesus and become the person You want me to be. From now on, Lord, I want to live my life by Your rules. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
